Description
Overview:
This Longlife Detachable Bowden Cable is a Non-Genuine compatible part for Knott mechanical brake systems commonly fitted to UK road-legal trailers, including many Ifor Williams models. It transmits force from the coupling or compensator to the wheel brake lever arms, restoring smooth and consistent brake actuation. The cable features a durable outer sheath with a protected inner wire to limit water ingress, rust and abrasion during regular towing use. It uses a detachable bell fitting for straightforward installation and removal during brake servicing. Key dimensions are matched to Knott layouts: outer length (L1) 1130 mm and inner length (L) 1340 mm. Bell diameter is 22 mm external and 18.5 mm internal, ensuring correct seating in compatible backplates. Typical applications include braked single- and twin-axle trailers used for general hauling and plant transport.
