[Healeys] Re - Non Healey Healey question - custom brake cable

Hi Alan,
Speedy Cables will make up anything you want. Just give them a
pattern or sketch.

I used them a few years back to make
a custom handbrake cable for my Lotus Seven replica.

Hi All -

I just took the A90 to pass its
safety inspection here in HK and it
was failed by the inspector, eventhough he
really wanted to pass the
car for me.B  :(

One of the things I need to fix is
there is too much slack in the
brake cable that connects between two balance
levers on the A90's
chassis.B  This cable is very simple - it has a fork on
each end (very
similar to a healey brake cable fork) and a cable of about 1 ft
in
length between.B  The problem with this cable is there is no adjustor
on it
so I can't take up slack when the hand brake is off.B  FYI this
cable is NOS
so the problem can't be fixed simply by replacing it with
a new one.

Does
anyone know a brake cable manufacturer that can put in an
adjustor (I would
assume something very similar to a sail boat rigging
adjustor) on my cable, or
just make a cable with forks from scratch
about half an inch shorter?B  I know
that there are these crimp
adjustors that people use on Austin 7s, but that
type of adjustor will
fail the test here.

Any ideas out there in Healey land?
Thanks in advance.

Alan
