Right I have bought both of these to try and connect my shortened my handbrake cable,

the first one is my prefered one obviously because it looks nicer and i will be testing it on an old cable first to see how strong it is, the second bunch is tried and tested but wont look as good, I was going to slide some heat shrink over it to hide them.

what do you lot think?

Both on ebay heres the links....

If I remember rightly the part that goes onto the handbrake lever is different?

Might be wrong though

Right got a start on the boot today, ignore the parcel shelf supports hanging down, the rivets i had were not long enough to hold them!

Had to trim down each side of the boot trim beacuse nothing fits any more!

The floor is now higher than it used to be in the escort, so i trimmed the bottom off, and held in place with the double sided velcro you get out of halfords.
