I don't know how they are for cables as I've never bought any,but Borg and Beck are/were a well known and respected maker of clutches,so hopefully you should be fine

Genuine are £24.95 @ ECP?
I won't go near the place unless I am desperate. Prefer to support smaller independant and small chain motorfactors (that don't sell crap) |

Borg and Beck are now owned by firstline and are part of a much bigger group (whos name escapes me federal mogul maybe) but also contains AP and a few other well known names.

It was on mine but I would always recommend that everyone makes their own checks.
Vida is invaluable for parts numbers but if you don't have it, feel free to pm your chassis and I'll check. I would say that you do need to concern yourself with manufacturer because the quality and fit of the sheathing and the hub connector are just as important as the cable itself. Take your pick over the countless threads where people have handbrake niggles due to tiny margins of fit from inferior manufacturers. If you want a factory fresh handbrake again without any issues, ATE or genuine every time.

I had a lousy handbrake for a few months there. I had fitted the adjusters which made the shoes sit out at the top away from the back plate and knacked my shoes and disc, Took the adjusters off, re-fitted the original spacers and fitted new disc/drum and shoes. Hand brake has never been better, what a transformation and it can hold the car on a hill in first click position. You really don't need the adjusters and the original design also holds the shoes flat and straight which the adjusters can't!
