Lotus Elan

Handbrake cable install.

PostPost by: StressCraxx » Thu Nov 21, 2024 5:59 pm

I'm faced with threading the handbrake cable through the aft section of the chassis. I have been unsuccessful pulling the cable end through the cable ferrules at the bulkhead ahead of the diff. The cable end hangs up on the forward side of the ferrule. It's the original cable and the diameter is smaller than the ferrule.

Your thoughts? Thank you.

I’ve had that issue in past, I carefully filed the ferrule until it passed through.
