Indespension plant trailer brake cables

[swinny]

Just renewing the cables on my plant trailer

 

I've got the back ones but am struggling with the Front ones!!!

 

The black outer cable is 770mm and the actual cable is 990mm long

 

I've rang indespension and they say all the 770mm cables are the same length... also they don't post

 

ebay has 966mm cables but thats 24mm shorter than mine! i'm worried they wont fit?

 

any suggestions as my trailer is like a garden ornament at the moment

[swinny]

Just to ad these are fixed cables the quick detach ones with like a fishing plummet on the end

 

only adjustment is on the brake rod in the centre of the trailer

I have a 2.6T indespension plant trailer. Would it help if I measured mine tomorrow? I would of thought they would be the same front and back. Have your old ones stretched?

 

In my experience its amazing how they do stretch. Handbrake cables on vehicles, when you take the old one off you have to wind the adjuster along way.

Its ok Goaty pal, no need to measure.

 

i've a 2.7t plant trailer, i have long cables on the back and short on the front, they all lead to the front but yo could use 4 short ones if it was set up like that.

 

im going to order the ones off ebay!! had enough now lol

 

cheers again bud

Hi Sir

We noticed your problem online and we would like to give you some advice. We measure our cables by the outer casing lengths. The products numbers you are looking for are the front axle BR102, and the rear axle BR110. I have provided a link to our website for both of them products. You can order them from our website and they will be mailed out to you. It would be interesting to know who told you that we don't post our products, as we do from all depots. I hope this information helps you and if you want to know any more information about any other parts on your trailer. A full product spec can be provided for you.
