Spider Nice. If you don't mind my asking, what did the cables end up setting you back? Do you remember the spec's/fittings/etc that you ordered?
An alternative to a longer brake hose would be to get apes with a wider lower section. Then you could mount the master right next to the clamps. Probably easier just to get new hoses though.'81H (my first XS ) "Grey Ghost"

Caution Thread Hi-Jack in progress
Summit Racing is a COOL store. Happens to be 1 hour from my in-laws. I always make a point to go there while we go up there. Taught my son about engines and trannys with their cutaways in the store.
Ok...We now return you to your normally scheduled thread.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
