Should have a round end with an Allen key grub screw either end, these hits are made to sit lots of other cars so are in effect universal.Hope this helps. ________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport |

The 'ball' on the end is just held on by a couple of Allen grub screws, do you have the one off of the old cable?________________________________________ '90 1.6 205 GTi, '98 306 GTi-6 |

The genuine cable comes with the 'ball' as part of the cable, however you will need to cut the new one to length and then use the grub screw to tighten the new fitting onto the end as said.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

The kits should come with a small collar which tightens down onto the cable with a grub screw. If you don't have that then you can't fit it. Also, cutting the cable and 'soldering' your original bit on the end won't work.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Exactly this, would make a weak point and would just snap under strain, not ideal! ________________________________________ 306 1.8 xs moonstone blue-SOLD306 gti6 supercharged china blue-SOLD 406 coupe D9 3.0 V6-SOLD |
