Title: Nobel cable adjusters
Post by: Bob Purton on January 11, 2014, 07:48:13 pm

Hi All. I'm in need of a pair of cable adjusters for the Nobel front brake hub assemblies. Does anyone have any spare ones or know what thread they are so I can source some else where ? Thanks.

Well, they are cable adjusters Richard, no slot cut into the sides of them though.  After I posted the question I did identify the thread and they are 7mm with 1.00 pitch. It appears some Italian scooters used them which are availible but I don't know if the hole that the ferrule goes into would be large enough for my brake cables.  I will post a photo late Richard.

Thanks Malcolm. I know Johnsons cables which I think is JJ, I see these guys at Kempton Park Jumble, I didnt know Speedograph Richfield though, they sound useful.  Thanks.

Bob,
Johnston cables should be able to help you as they have made complete sets of cables for Nobels in the past.  They have patterns or working drawings.  Speedograph are great if you visit them in person (Nottingham) but not so good on the phone or by mail.
