Handbrake Cables - Supposed to be Secured to Swingarms?

Post by Mickyfin »

Whilst out under my Syncro today to clean up and paint various items, I noticed my handbrake cables appear to be low. When I was painting the rear swing arms, I did notice a 10mm nut, and was wondering, is there supposed to be somekind of retainer attached there securing the handbrake cables to the swing arms?

Kind of like these... (P Clips).

Thanks as always. My OCD gets the better of me, and I would rather get things to as they should be :)

Cheers Si, could only find a pair of 10mm, so hopefully 2mm won't hurt.
