Handbrake Cable - Best one?

[Tatey]

I am about to buy a handbrake cable for my car and was wondering which one to go for? I know a lot of people have used the Sierra cable, but I am sure I read ages ago that the Capri handbrake cable works well?

I am using Sierra drums on the rear.

Thanks

I could be mistaken but I really doubt if the Capri cable is the way go. However the Capri clutch cable works a treat for the clutch.

Oops there another vote for Capri handbrake cable I must be wrong.

I used a capri one on my clutch --which is far better but I dont know about the handbrake

I think I might be getting mixed up with the clutch and handbrake cables in regards to the capri one. I've just ordered a capri clutch cable.

So is the sierra handbrake cable definitely the way to go?

Fix the Sierra one into the car Simon and fit one side to the shoes.slacken the cable adjuster back far enough to give you plenty on the cable when the shoes etc are adjusted,fit the other side and measure the amount you need to cut off and use a small bolt cut down and drilled the right size for the cable to be welded into,dont forget to put the spring on aswell.
