Hello Dave,

Thanks,

I applaud your perseverance Howard Very Happy
That looks like a very unobtrusive installation and a good option - thanks.
I like the red interior.

Good Morning Dave/Alan

Couldn't open the garage due to snow, but here's a general interior shot I took a while back.

Thanks,

Howard

Folks,

I have a wolseley rear axle and a riley 1.5 handbrake fittings (assume they are near identical), however, the cables need replacing. Can't seem to find replacements anywhere apart from Longbridge motor spares but they haven't answered my request. Any ideas where I can get a new set or are morris minor cables that same?

Hi Todd,

I bought my cables from Longbridge, It did take a while to get hold of them and they were slow on delivery.

The Riley Motor Club are listing them, but don't know if you have to be a member.

This is the best illustration of the Morris cable I could find.

Cheers

Hi,

Has anyone tried a right hand handbrake, between the seat and the cill.

A friend of mine has fitted an XJS handbrake lever to his Cobra. It works well because it drops to the low position whether it's on or off.

Good news Longbridge Spares have a full set of Wolseley/Riley Handbrake cables in stock. This was the only place I could find these cables. Very Happy

Hello Todd,
Just for future reference would you be kind enough to put the contact details of the supplier and the part numbers and current price.

It may be invaluable information for someone in times to come.

Have you any pictures to share of your car?

Regards, Dave
