I am trying to install a new rear cable on my HR rear and have just realised I may have deep sixed the old EK cable with the rear cable stops/clamps whatever they're called? The two retaining clamps that attach to to the body.

If anyone understands what I am on about could they possibly post a pic? I may have to fabricate something and looking at the notch on the cable I think there may be more to them them then just a bit of bent strap.
cheers Jake.

Hi Jake I have done the exact same thing with mine too, not to much help there from the forum , so how did you go ? did you fabricate some or find some? Peter

Hi Peter,
Yeah, I dunno, I thought for sure someone would have a standard handbrake setup on here.
I am still trying to chase down one - I had a phone call today from someone who might be able to help, but in the meantime I just bent up some stainless steel strap and cut a "keyhole" into it that allows me to clamp it to the original mounting points-it's a bit rough but it stopped the cable flapping around and just seems strong enough to allow it to function- the new cable doesnt quite line up right either , so the stock item may not even work.

Jake , ring me on sunday and I will have a look - should have a pair of these for ya.

Cheers Blacky, will do- I believe one can be seen in this pic

hey jake if you get hold of one would you mind posting a close up picture so I could get some fabricated , I thought I might try and get some tiny u bolts but would rather use the real thing.

Jake just bought some on ebay item number 130483927181

Not sure if ths was your issue, but the standard FB/EK or HR cables will not work.
I ordered one as well, just need to tell them what models.
EK wagon body with HR rear...... Cable fitted perfectly to existing body.

Yeah, I had one made up to suit- but what I'm not sure about is the brackets that secure it to the body.

Jake08,

Not sure if this helps, but these are the standard FB ones (looks like a bit of mild steel plate stuck in a vice and pounded over the end of a drift with a BFH would do the trick ):

Cheers,
Harv
