Hand Brake Cable Part Numbers

Post by harri46 »

Hi All,

Trying to source two rear hand brake cables for my MK2. Been given two OEM numbers 4643017050 and 4642017050. I have a couple of questions, firstly are both cables identical so can I use the same one on either side and are the numbers supplied correct for my car, which is a rev1, march 1991.

Any info appreciated.

Darren

The Toyota EPC has those two part numbers listed for the entire production run of Mk2 MR2s.

The fact that the numbers are different suggests they are not 100% identical and are handed (i.e. L/R).

Not Plan B again!! Why don't we just go with plan B in the first place?

When ordering, ask Paul which side the numbers refer to. The page doesn't say.

IIRC the difference is in the brackets attached to each cable. If the cables were the same there would be only one number. Mr T uses the same part number for identical parts across all the model ranges.
