sw20 handbreak - found :)

[gordon77]

hey ppl i managed to snap my handbreak cable doing a hill start last night - could be due to new break pads in the rear and not ajusting for the new ones - pulled a bit too hard etc... lol but anyways im looking for a handbreak cable to i can stop my car moving when i leave it lol. it has broken right at the handel so just need the bit btw that and the split.

im in auckland area and willing to drive out of akl to pick it up (but not too far) if you have one can you please call/text 0211 568 741

Get a new one, handbrake cable snapping is not uncommon in SW20, I don't understand why people trying to save that $50 or so for the short run and just to have to replace it again 6 months down the track.

[Mr Revhead]

yeah get a new one. and then think about also replacing the rear 2.

last TSer that didnt follow that advice had his roll away down his drive

[gordon77]

this advice is awesome on a long weekend lol. i intend on getting a new one but at the moment i cant leave my car anywhere so im stuck. i am looking for a temp replacement.....

just take some chocks with you and park in gear.

And if you need to use the handbrake to do a hill start, then you need your boyracer licence revoked.

[Mr Revhead]

hell iv never been able to do hill starts with the handbrake

[gordon77]
