To All,
The brake on our PW-5 has failed. The brake cable end that attaches to the hand brake handle came loose from the handle. The cable was attached to a pin that fits into the brake handle. The steel pin is retained in the brake handle by a snap ring. The pin was evidently soldered or welded onto the steel cable. Has anyone experienced such a failure? If so, how did you go about replacing and installing the cable? We have purchased a replacement cable from Poland but it arrived with only a single swagged ball at one end. Trying to weld or solder the existing pin onto the new cable seems to be a very risky proposition. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Charley |

Charley Likely to be some form of a motorcycle brake or clutch cable. Best to find an old fashion motorcycle shop and see if they can find or make a cable for you. The newer shops only know how to look up part number so are not much help. |
