I'm at the point of fitting rear discs utilising Epytec adaptors sharan discs and Golf Calipers -however wondered what others have done regarding the handbrake cable.
I didnt really want to use cable clamps to extend the length of sharan cables as there may be a suitable cable already out there. Are there other options ?

(i realise Holman engineering have bespoke cable craft cables in their kit but unfortunately i have not invested in their kit)

Thanks in advance

You can get away with filing flats into standard cables, it's not perfect, but works.
You will also need to add a spacer behind the adjuster nut, a piece of steel pipe with a 6mm bore and a taper on one end will do.
