Bit of a problem ....they do not have anything suitable for the outer sleeving ends ...The metal parts that push into the caliper and the handbrake frame .I could probably get them made but it's all going to get too expensive .I've got a price for the cable/assembly but need to get the ends made for them .
Looks like SimonAuto have them for 100 euro each A610 length ..I reckon these would come in at around £80 cutting it fine so ...........................

I had a different experience with Speedy Cables so I wouldn't rule them out.
Two years ago I needed an adjuster for the engine end of the throttle cable and they supplied it free of charge. I call that service.
May have been an isolated incident, of course, who you speak to on the day, etc; as could Andy's negative experience have been.

sent them a bunch of cables to copy, nothing out of the ordinary.... well brand new Renault oem anyway.... they couldn't do them and sent the samples back, wasted my time and money... :down

I know of several other companies who make cables in uk and in Europe.... not had the same experience with any of them
