Handbrake cable - what's this part?

[Nathanb]

Hi All,

I replaced my rear handbrake cables today with two of these from Brickwerks.

Everything is fine and working well, however I am left with these spare parts that came with the cables and have no idea what they would be for.
The old cables that I took off didn't have these parts and I can't seem to work out where they would be used.

Does anyone have any ideas?

They are off the handbrake lever on the shoes

That's what it's for!
Thanks so much David, would have driven me mad not knowing.

Not used on T3s. I assume they're for those older less desirable Transporters.

Agreed. I knew that this part wasn't on the new shoes i fitted as that doesn't use a pin and clip, it's a pressed bolt.
Also checked the old shoes i removed and they are the same, so as you say this must have been used for much older shoes.

I guess it can go into my spares box unless anyone needs it.
