I dunno about you but I have a replacement handbrake cable in my '69
B. There's a problem with those cables in that they are a smidgin too
long. I know that there are two different cables, one for WW axles and
another for disk wheel axles. I have the right cable. In fact, I have
two. Moss sent me another when I called about the length. They thought
I might have the wrong one - mislabeled, etc. There's a fix for this,
involving drilling a new hole in the tunnel area for the anchored end of
the housing but I elected not to do this.
What I found is that if the rear brakes are adjusted just right, the
handbrake will hold. So whenever the handbrake begins to slip, I know
it's time to adjust the rear brakes. It's usually time to relube the
splines too.
Cheers,
