Hi All,
I replaced my rear handbrake cables today with two of these from Brickwerks.
https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/t3-parts/b ... heels.html
Everything is fine and working well, however I am left with these spare parts that came with the cables and have no idea what they would be for.
The old cables that I took off didn't have these parts and I can't seem to work out where they would be used.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Handbrake cable - what's this part?

That's what it's for!
Thanks so much David, would have driven me mad not knowing.

Not used on T3s. I assume they're for those older less desirable Transporters.

Agreed. I knew that this part wasn't on the new shoes i fitted as that doesn't use a pin and clip, it's a pressed bolt.
Also checked the old shoes i removed and they are the same, so as you say this must have been used for much older shoes.
I guess it can go into my spares box unless anyone needs it.
