Description
Overview:
The Brake Cable 730/940mm is a durable galvanised steel Bowden cable for trailer braking systems using Knott brakes, commonly found on Ifor Williams trailers. It provides smooth, reliable actuation of overrun and handbrake mechanisms to maintain safe stopping performance. This cable suits trailers manufactured after September 1992 and is a direct fit on models such as EL142-2512 and GH64. It features a tubular "bell" end fitting for secure location in the backplate or adjuster and is built to resist corrosion in year-round UK conditions. With a Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) of 800 2440 and an OEM cross reference P0140, it replaces worn or stretched cables to restore correct brake balance and pedal/lever feel, supporting consistent, predictable braking under load.
Key Features:
- Galvanised steel construction for high corrosion resistance and long service life in wet, muddy, or salted road conditions.
- Correct lengths for Knott systems: outer conduit 730 mm (28.7 inches), inner cable 940 mm (37 inches) for precise travel and adjustment range.
- Tubular bell end with approx. 22 mm outer diameter for stable seating and wide compatibility with Knott backplates and adjusters.
- Suits Ifor Williams trailers built after 09/1992; engineered for common plant, general-duty, and goods trailers.
- Smooth, low-friction operation helps maintain even braking and reduces the risk of grabbing or drag.
- Direct replacement for OEM P0140; MPN 800 2440 supports straightforward identification and ordering.
- Robust outer sheath protects the inner wire from abrasion and contamination, reducing stretch and maintenance.
- Designed for quick installation with standard workshop tools and conventional brake adjustment procedures.
Typical Applications:
For maintaining and repairing overrun braking systems on Ifor Williams trailers used for plant hire, construction work, agriculture, landscaping, and general goods transport. Ideal when brakes feel weak, uneven, or slow to release, or after routine servicing where cable stretch or corrosion is found. Suitable for both road-going and site-use trailers operating in mixed weather and load conditions.
