Hand Brake Cable Spring

[KatoKid]

Hi all.

 

I'm in need of this spring that supports the hand brake cable on a 240Z (don't know if its the same for 260Z and 2+2). The spring hangs from the high point of the body above the diff and clips on to the hand brake cable to support it and keep it from falling onto the driveshafts. My car only had one on it when I got it.

 

Looks like this:

 

 

Melbourne hopefully!

 

Thanks.

G'day mate , had a look at the set up on my S30 & there is only one spring existing in that area & that is to pull the H/Brake mechanism back .

KatoKid is correct - there should be two springs - one for each branch of the handbrake cable. They keep the cables up out of the way of the rotating half-shaft assemblies.

Dave. The tempering of those springs can be a bit buggered after an extended period of use and they can be easily distorted when reattaching the cables.

 

Take the one you have to Bunnings and select two similar length and tension springs. They have a pretty good range.

Thanks Peter...again.

 

I've never seen springs in Bunnings so will go and check it out.

 You may have to take to the ends with a pair of pliers to create the exact end shape you'll need
