the old one wasn't stretched?

OP
droll m8 so i have NO adjustment on handbrake then. FIAT thing must be
the adjustment is taken up by the handbrake mechanisim rather than the cable, the cable sits at one length then the adjustment is done by getting the mechanisim in the correct place to give the cable the correct tension.
you adjust it under the car.
you adjust it under the car.

i aware of that full adjustment under car even moved handbrake lever all the way forward, cable too long same length as new one, one on car free not seized.
Next guess... Wrong cable? Theres two types, old cinq type and sei type, they are different lengths
OP
OP
The sei cable will never fit a cinq and vice versa ~~~ The handbrake mech is completely different. So seeing yours fitted, am sure you got a cinq cable?
But, you need to confirm on eper, i think the early 899 cable is slightly shorter? Personally, i think all the cable will fit as the 899 and sporting uses the same design. I have changed cables on both car.
