Default F15 or F15-A handbrake cable?

Hi Tony,

Following on from Grant's comments if there is a major difference in lengths between an F15 And an F15-A handbrake cable I can at least confirm what is the F15-A cable length which may be of help.

The outer conduit is 39-3/4" long and the inner cable is 52-1/4" long giving a difference in the two lengths of 12-1/2"

I am very sure these measurements are accurate as they came off two NOS cables I bought along with the NOS backing plates that they were attached to. I took these measurement a long time ago in case I ever had to replace a cable. They work perfectly on my F15-A (and will be even better when I bend up the clips from the dimensions and photos you supplied!)

Hope this may be of some help.

Cheers,
