Hi,

Got a snapped rear h'brake cable, been looking for a replacement in GSF and Just Kampers.

GSF a bit cheaper b a few quid. Has anyone replaced these cables, is there any difference in quality between GSF and JKampers ?

Doing it once will be bad enough without having to do it again any sooner than I have to !

btw. Would it be a hard job for someone not too mechanical ?!

Cheers

petrol tank out on a 2WD can raise its own issues. Quick fix is to weld a tube over the broken ends to join them. I fitted a GSF one once petrol tank is out of the way its not to bad.

Er rear cables are not a tank out job!!!

if you are not very mechanically minded then DO NOT mess with a safety item like brakes... you will have to remove the rear drums and whiel in there a good clean and check is advisable.. if anything needs replacing then you have openend a tin of worms...

if you are still happy to procede, then use the haynes manual.. support the rear on axle stands and take you time...

sorry yeah, if its the central bar that goes to the handbrake its tank out to replace.

Thanks for the replies. I'll take a scoot round to gsf and get some bits then.

I think i'll get the nice vw man with the beard from down the road to put them in for me I'll see if i can watch for next time !

Cheers
