has anyone else fitted these? is so whats involved?

are there any advantages apart from lightness? do they reduce siezing? thanks

I belive Specialist components ones are lighter.

essentially fitting is just pull the pin and swap them over, I dont think theres much difference with regards to seazing TBH.

Well when i refurbed my radius arms i had the money floating about, and the old ones looked fudged.
To be honest as long as they are well greased, i can't see them having any discernable difference from standard in use (aside from weight).

Actually I looked yesterday, the KAD ones are £21. The SC ones are £17.

IMO, the SC ones look nicer. I know which ones I'll be getting...

Apparently they alter the ratio making the handbrake a bit more efficient, never really noticed it with mine though

I seriously doubt it!

Paul that's because they can't alter any ratio, it's not a lever, its merely a curve around which the cable guides

Put one against a standard one Carl, the pin is offset which as is rotates pulls the cable eccentric and changes the ratio. It does work out, but its not noticeable since you adjust the cable anyway. Its supposed to be so you dont need to pull the lever up so far if you are rallying with a fly off

I seriously doubt it!
