Title: Brake Cable crimp
Post by: Gary RH7 on 20, March, 2016, 06:06:32 PM
I have to put new brake cables on my Hood as one has the inner frayed and is catching on the outer.
Anybody know where I can get a new crimp on the end as I need it shorter. Preferably east of Bristol.

Old and new. The new one far too long

That's good Dave, can you identify which crimp fits your tool? I wouldn't know where to start
