BSA FRONT BRAKE CABLE 65'
A 65 inch front brake cable for BSA models, cataloged under Triumph-style part number 68-8518.
This is a front brake cable for a BSA, not a Triumph, even though it turns up in our records under a Triumph-style part number. The catalog description calls out a 65 inch length, and it also carries the alternate reference MC-2/538 if that's the number printed in your book or on an old cross-reference sheet.

A front brake cable like this runs from the handlebar lever down to the front drum brake, pulling the cam that spreads the brake shoes. On these older cable-operated drum setups there's no hydraulic fluid involved, just a length of cable in an outer casing doing the work.
We don't have much more on file for this one beyond the length and the cross-number, so if you're not sure this is the right length or fitting style for your particular BSA, give us a call before you order and we'll sort it out.
