Fair enough!

Ted, did you see my post above, I can’t understand why your cables are different lengths?

My 500 K1 is in high gloss black, it was ditch water  bronze.

All my friends who have seen it prefer it to the original.👍👍

I'll double check the shorter cable for length and repost later today.

I've checked them again, the closing cable is shorter by a good 5 cms.
The opening one one with the extra adjustment fittings is 91-91.5 cms.
I did not source or fit the cables I removed so can't comment on the differences.

Happy to post out just the one & bin the other.

Ted, i think they were a new pattern set of 3 cables purchased from the good old flee of bays just to get it going.
Probably generic to fit most of the fours
