Gosh dont say any more things wrong ???. Yes i live in Thurso so it could be and the car is from up here the last owner was up west in melvich. He is insisting its not possible.Photo isn't clear bur looks to be cable sheath left in the bracket
They can be corroded in place and a sod to extract but possible with perseverance
Scottish roads salt will compound that
Tank strap looking iffy too

Aww wish i could come to perth and get it fixed. Just such a long way. He is away to show a welder my car ?The cable end passes thru the centre of the bracket which acts as the fixed point
against which you are pulling ( pen pointing to bracket in photo)
The metal ferrule on the end of the cable seizes in the bracket
Changed plenty and so far haven't had to drop the tank
Perth area so similar road salt
Iv rung him and he said the bracket is loose he cant access it and its away to the welder ?Not sure what that will achieve other than a second pair of eyes
No welding involved
Has the garage worked on your vehicles previously
PM if preferred

He hasnt removed anything he just said it is loose. So he cant put the handbrake throught. The welder had said he will not be worth fixing it because its 3 days to take all the seats and carpets etc out and the petrol tank and to put it all back together. So that is why i was asking if it will be an easier job. The welder still has the car, we havent heard back from himWell he seems to have removed it, so if the welder can fix it you should be okay.
Im not sure. It will be tuesday because all the chairs & carpets have to get out. I dont even actually know the welder because the garage man who i go to has given my car off to him because i insisted it is fixed. Its prob not economical now but i love my wee car. Once this is done surely everhing on it is virtually new ?Just to check, the welder does realise the car's made of aluminium, right? Different method/equipment to normal steel.
