Hi,

I've been restoring the rear axle of my 316 (carburettor model from 11/1987)

A couple of weeks ago i took out the old handbrake cables and threw them away, but apperantly there is a ring or a clip there where the handbrake cable enters the dustpanel (arrow on picture) But when my new cables arrived there was no ring or clip delivered with it and i can't seem to find some on internet. Anybody has an idea what clip/ring i shoud use and were i can order it ?

Contact "Cotswold" on here, they are very helpful.

Only the E46 cab left now.
Just got too old.
