Product Description
This is the AL‑KO 1231598 handbrake cable, used on X250‑generation motorhomes built on the Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Relay chassis fitted with the AL‑KO AMC lightweight chassis.
The cable is a Bowden‑type handbrake cable with a 1717 mm length class, used on the left‑hand side of the axle. It transfers handbrake lever force to the brake compensator and wheel brake assembly.
This cable is commonly required when the original becomes stretched, corroded, seized, or fails MOT due to insufficient handbrake efficiency.
