GSF handbrake cables

[jammac]

Has anyone bought a handbrake cable from GSF? i bought one for my golf gti 8v 91 tookthe old one off and the new one is miles longer.

now im thinking the old one could have been wrong as i was only getting two clicks on the handbrake...3 clicks if i used both hands.

so do i just get another cable so i have 2 longer ones  this will give me alot more clicks on the handbrake though which isnt a problem for MOT? or is it? as ive just failed it on nearside handbrake (+ emssions CO)


GSF have two types one for 83-88 and one for 88-92

cheers in advance

I have a pair o gsf cables on my 90 MK2, fit just spiffy.  Seems like as you say they've sent you the wrong ones!

just bought a pair from camberly auto factors. they are the same size and now my handbrake works like a dream! i didnt realise how sh!te it actually was because of my knackered cables!

anyone need a handbrake cable for the 83-88mk2 as i have one spare
