pitouie? In American please, though I would love to take a trip down under, it would be a bit expensive just to learn that particular slang word. Or are you spitting into the spitoon with this one.

LOL, the only reason I figured that out was a vague memory from the old black and white Saturday morning cartoons. I guess my formative years were spent learning something.

What is the cable worth secondhand, 81GSL12a has one but neither of us knows its value.

I call them $25 each for the rears or $50 for eveything. A bit greasy to get one out so I would do $10 plus shipping on it, if I had one to sale you.

Not to spoil anyones fun, but if this is going in the race car, buy new. The handbrakes are weak as it is and you might need it at the Targa.
