Exact Replacement
This cable was to replace a stretched non-adjustable cable on an old lawn mower. It appears to be the correct cable as the brake lever moves further than with the old cable.
Shipping was fast. The e-replacement website allowed me to look up the cable using the mowers model number - thus increasing my confidence in getting the correct part.
