Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Handbrake cable replacement

Hi Gordon, it's not too bad a job. I take the seats out then remove the bolts on one side of the tunnel. I loosen the bolts the other side. At this point I can prop one side of the tunnel up with wooden blocks and get my hand in to undo the cable fixings, in my case pipe clips screwed to the floor. I have heard of people punching the screws out from below but I don't know how they fix the cable back and it sounds a bit destructive to me. Mine is a 4seater and I was given the wrong length cable initially which was a bit annoying! When you finally adjust the cable don't forget to release the automatic adjustment on the rear brake shoes before you start. I found a 3/8" drive deep socket is much quicker than a ring spanner when tightening the cable. Gomog has info on handbrake adjustment. Good luck.
