Just shopping for new handbrake cables and see that some are labelled for ABS equipped cars, and some for non-ABS. Both are the same length (1725mm), is there actually any difference between them?

You get exactly the same thing when shopping for braided brake hoses. The difference is rear discs versus rear drums, not ABS or not.

Thanks both, I thought that would be the case. They're only £6 each for Bendix (which should suffice) so not too worried about them not fitting.
