Can anybody help me? New to me car (944S2 1991) Off side hand brake cable just gone. Unable to find a diagram on line. Cables listed as long cable and short cable? Am I right in thinking that the near side is the long one and the off side is the short one.? Just want to be certain before I order a replacement. Also any hints and tips on replacement would be useful. Thanks Bigwave |

Replaced the long one last weekend.Liberal use of Penetrating oil , angle grinder , assorted drill bits and engineers fine adjusting tool finally removed the old one after three hours!!! Short one looks quite easy in comparison!! Toby |

You were correct about the price of the cables.Got them from Euro carparts.On-line the cheapest and no delivery charge.They do carry a wide range of Porsche parts. Thanks for the info.
