With more than 100 new cables, Triscan now offers no less than 3,430 references - covering more than 96% of the European fleet within the primary cable types.
However, the cable programme also includes gear shift cables, choke cables, accelerator cables, speedometer cables, bonnet and compartment cabels as well as trailer cables. In other words, we cover virtually every need.
Our cables are manufactured according to OE specifications. This means that all fittings, brackets, protection, etc. are 100% equivalent to the original cable. This ensures you the best possible solution regarding security and installation.
Improvement of OE Handbrake Cable 8140251127/8140251128
In cases where the OE spare parts construction proves to be inappropriate, we sometimes develop an improved aftermarket version. This is the case for our handbrake cable 8140251127 and 8140251128, which have been modified in several ways. Depending on which orignal or free aftermarket type you may encounter, one or both of the following inconveniences may occur:
- The cable can be mounted in reverse
- Metal locking ring (at caliber) rusts away

Reverse mounting
To avoid the penetration of water, one end of the cable is provided with a gaiter. If the cable is turned incorrectly – with the caliber end mounted to the equalizer and vice versa - water and dirt can quickly penetrate the cable, which significantly reduces the life span of the cable.

Metal locking ring
The metal locking ring, which the caliber end of the cable is provided with, is not stainless and corrodes relatively quickly. As a result, the cable end slides in and out of the fitting of the caliber in which it is supposed to be held. This damages the gaiter that is supposed to prevent water penetration, thereby granting access to water and dirt to reach the cable.
The above issues do not occur with Triscan's enhanced version of the cable. With a simple design change, we have prevented the cable from being reversed. Furthermore, with the development of a plastic locking ring, it is now resistant to corrosion.
Triscan’s improved brake cable has made incorrect assembly impossible
