The part numbers for 996 handbrake cables are different for model years -2000 and 2001- 996 424 141 00 996 424 141 10 Does anyone know if there are actually meaningful differences between the parts...? There seems to be a real shortage of -2000 cables at the moment. Only one OPC in London is apparently showing a single cable in stock and Porsche cant seem to give a ETA on orders. Various aftermarket suppliers also don't apparently carry any stock of factory cables or even OEM equivalent parts suppliers

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I think the difference is where they enter the handbrake drum but I'm not sure what the difference would be. Might be worth giving these a shout https://speedycables.com/ they can custom make cables
Aren't the 2 metal tubes the cables travel up into the car different lengths, thus making the cable sheaths different lengths?
