BOOT release the MGF register way, anyone remember?

[John W]

While talking to Adrian at the Canvey Island car show, he mentioned an artical some time ago in an early Fast Forward mag, a way of using a long cycle brake cable?, can anyone remember, and perhaps have instructions?

[Keith Williams]

Will try hunting down the magazine later.

Immediately after reading the article I went and bought a brake cable and then put it into a drawer at home and completely forgot about it. Will have to fit it some time myself. I think the cable has matured nicely by now

Found magazine - FTF dated issue 4 Winter 2006 - ooppss cable well mature by now - 3 years old
Can scan and send by email unless Tim still has the electronic form. It was adrians's article.

True and very worthwhile too, although I'm pleased to say, I never needed it.

But credit goes to Andy P for the idea and the fitment in the pub car park at an Essex Roadsters meet, I only done the words, pictures and article.

Thanks Keith,
I have sent you a PM with my email address, I am sure other members would be interested, perhaps you, Andy,Tim or Adrian could bring it to the forefront once more, sounds a good cheap and reliable option to the ones advertised.

Will do John. Will send out later today.

I am sure useful articles and hints like this will occur in FTF FastForward again so well worth taking out a membership to it. Details of how to subscibe can be found at http://www.mgfregister.org/node/38 or on the Register online shop A new edition is out shortly in November

Hello Keith,
Just to say thanks, and let you know I have been a member since early 2007 and do have the 'Fast Forward Mag' sent to me each quarter, my first two mags were of the 'A5' size before it was changed to 'A4'.

My comment was not a dig at you John but more of an un ashamed advert for the magazine in general

I can thoroughly recommend cable boot release. I bought the outer and inner cable from Halfords bike department. They sell them in whatever lentgh you need (no, I can't remember what length I bought but it was JUST enough so over estimate!)
Incidently while I was in the bike department I bought an aerosol of cable lubrication fluid which I have used to lubricate the accelerator cable. I used it in Feb/March and it is still smooth, whereas other lubricant have only been effective for a few weeks.

Having again looked at the article, it seems such an easy solution, again thanks Keith would you mind posting the article for others?
