l1ttle_d3vil Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The handbrake cable in the Corolla snapped and I need to replace it... one problem - all I know is it's out of a Hilux, so I'm trying to find the exact model. Guy from the local wreckers seemed fairly certain it is from a 2WD Hilux, around LN85 model, but he says there are two types with different bolt spacing (around 45mm and 65mm). The bolts on my cable are approx 64mm apart. Total cable length is approx 125cm, but it has been stretched before snapping so this may be a bit off, although I'm fairly certain this is close to the original length. Using Trademe + Carjam, I've found a couple of models around the LN85 series, and putting these vin numbers in to ToyoDIY, the cables from the two models below have a slight resemblance to mine... 1989 Toyota Hilux 1.8 Single Cab 2WD Engine: 2Y Chassis: YN85 1989 Toyota Hilux 2.4 Single Cab 2WD Engine: 2L Chassis: LN85 Still a bit of a guessing game though, so ideally what I need is someone who can ID exactly what model the handbrake cable has come off. If you know of someone with a Hilux around the same era as those above, could you please check it out and see if it looks the same, maybe measure the bolts and get a couple of photos. Photos below are of my cable. Any info would be hugely appreciated. Thanks -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah yeah na Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hey Matt, Have you thought about having a new one made from the parts you have, Melbar Cables down here in Wellington do it, but I'm sure you could find someone up your way too?
