Hi all

In need of new handbrake cable for Rapido 9090F on Alko chassis. I understand that the Alko cable is nearly £200.00 with postage. Anyone know of anyone who manufactures cables from a pattern which should be cheaper.

We used Hindle Controls to make up special brake cables for our drawbar turntable trailer.

24 Hour delivery from a verbal description and excellent workmanship.

If it is a garage that has told you your handbrake cable is beyond adjustment I would get a second opinion. One MOT station told me a load of tosh and when I went elsewhere the following year they found no issue with it. Also said my rear bushes on the control arms were nearly worn out :LOL: there are simply liars out there.
 
Good morning,
If you have a Fiat based van with Alko chassis the hand brake can be inefficient if not set up correctly. Has the cable broken ? If I recall Techno 100 wrote about this a couple of years ago.
Once set up correctly handbrake is very good but all adjustment needs to be taken back & started again from scratch.
Don't just try to tighten the cable, makes things worse.

Yes I did
Yes the starting point is setting the handbrake shoes correctly within the disc drums. Mine has past two Mots since the first tosser said they were borderline :mad: ( and may need a very expensive cable guv )
