Re: IML: brake cable

["kenneth chilton" <finfan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The car is driven fo the rear wheels are on  a rolling road (two large 
rollers moving in opposite direction).  The foot brake is then applied, the 
amount of resistance to turn the rear wheels is measured on the computer, 
depending on the amount of resistance the car either fails or passes.  The 
mechanic phoned and said that there was little resistance and therefore the 
cable possibly needs renewing.  I have since had another phone call from him 
regarding the matter and I consulted him more about the brake cable.  He 
said he will try and adjust the parking break to see if it makes any 
difference.  My next question is:-

If the parking brake shoes needed renewing where would I be able to get some 
from?

If the brake needs renewing where would I be able to get one from?(I have 
spent all afternoon going through all the clubs recommended sites on the 
brakes parts list but not yet come across a parking brake cable for this 
car.

Many thanks  Ken
