the handbrake cable is in 2 parts this would be the part that connects the calipers to the primary cable that comes from the handbrake.

Shug there is already one on so it adds no weight, although a clean one might reduce it

Oh and if you where being sarky it's for doing "honies" in the old tesco car park

Oh, I'm with you now

Thought you wanted twin cables for some reason... Not fitted one, but will need to at some point.

OK, not sarky but thinking like Shug (Scary) that you wanted another additional handbrake cable for some reason...

Tiem for a happy handbrake?

old one snapped,

Although why does everyone think I am going to change and modify everything I touch ?

Nizzy, you do have a habit of taking the black art of reengineering to a place where no photons exist

Its fairly straightforward and pretty self-explanatory when you see it.

Not exactly a difficult job. Just unhooks at the caliper end and there is a pin and R-clip where it joins the primary cable. Other than that its just the nuts on the mounts/adjuster at the bottom of the front wishbone mounts.

Got half way through and then we repalced the Vid with a DVD recorder

Does it have a section about handbrake cables on elises ?

Anyway get them converted to a digital format so we can all download copies*

*to use as backups of our own copies on video
