Description
Overview:
This long life detachable Bowden brake cable is a Non-Genuine compatible part for trailers fitted with Knott brake systems, including many Ifor Williams trailers that use Knott running gear. It transmits pull from the handbrake or overrun compensator to the axle brake levers. The cable uses a steel inner wire with a protective sheath to reduce moisture ingress and abrasion, supporting consistent braking in everyday towing. The bell end measures 22 mm external diameter and 18.5 mm internal diameter for correct seating in Knott-type fittings. Outer cable length (L1) is 1230 mm (1.23 m / 48.4 in) and inner cable length (L) is 1440 mm (1.44 m / 56.7 in), providing the required free movement for accurate brake adjustment. Suitable for service replacements where a detachable cable is specified.
