FRONT BRAKE CABLE 65-67 TR6/T120 VENHILL (SLC) Replace 60-0558
Front brake cable for the mid-1960s Triumph TR6/T120, connecting the front brake lever to the drum brake.
This is the front brake cable listed in Triumph's control cable figure for the mid-60s TR6 and T120 twins, with Western-style handlebars. It runs from the front brake lever down to the drum brake at the front wheel, transferring the pull from the lever to the brake arm so the shoes engage. This is a cable-operated drum brake setup, not hydraulic.

The catalog shows this as the replacement for the earlier 60-0558 cable, and 60-0559 itself was later superseded by 60-0559E. If your bike's parts book lists either of those numbers, this is the same physical cable under a different catalog entry.
When ordering, check what your existing cable looks like at both ends and confirm the routing matches - cables that are close in length or fitting type can still be wrong for your bars or your specific brake arm.
