ive used an astra gte cable but the cable is too long so ive used a 70mm length of pipe to space out the cable to the handbrake. hope that helps otherwise you could cut the spacer and re weld

Oh right... Sounds good..
I have the adapter thing you need for the 2 cables into the 1, but i'm not 100% on what i need to actually fit them anyway, so wouldn't mind one the right length..
Is there a shorter one thats a more direct fit?

ive herd you use a nova handbrake cable mate as its shorter. or use a corsa 1 and put a bit of copper pipe over the cable to reduce it a bit
