'54 NH front brake cable wanted

Post by dennis.t »

Does anyone know where I can buy a front brake cable for a '54 NH part number 6480-46?
Drags are out of stock.
Thanks, Dennis

That's what I've been doing lately. The Draganfly kits are good value.
cheers

I looked at Venhill’s site but did not see brake cable kits. Are there other suppliers?

Don't make it too short.. Before you Play with inner cable, tin it with solder to stop the strands spreading. The eventual soldering requires the end of the cable to be spread for security and strength. It must not be able to Pull through under Normal Operation.IF you are using your front Brake it's because you need to. Preferred flux is non corrosive or else wash in hot water fully Blow of with air and oil it. IF you can purchase the real article it would be worth the extra money to do so. Nev

Some later front brake lever assembles incorporate a cable adjuster. Nev
