Does anybody know if the tubes that go to the hubs are still available from the stealer?

Part number and a rough price if any body knows?

I've looked on realoem but it just says cable??

Thanks

Tubes? E30 does use cables for the handbrake. Only tubes are part of the bodyshell.

Handbrake cables? Or the bodywork steel tubes that the cables seat into?
The cables are available from GSF for about £12 per side, GEMO is the best brand you can buy

Yeah the outers. I take it the outers are part of the cable.

All comes complete. The inner cable has a fitting on each end, so can't be removed from the outer.
