Handbrake BX 16v

Post by pinfold »

The other day i pulled the handbrake, and nearly took it out through the sunroof, i assume because the cable has snapped.

Have phoned GSF, who will supply me a front section? for ten quid

Does anyone know about handbrakes and does this sound correct

Also is it easy to fit

Cheers

Front section????

Theres only two cables, one for the left, and one for the right...

However, with the car in the air, or on ramps, then yeah, they are VERY easy to fit, no more than 30 mins start to finish to do both sides.

Once you're under the car it becomes VERY obvious where it all goes.

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
