Why the difference, is it significant?

Significant in a 'well that shlt don't work let's cut one end off'

2 into one cable splitters on my decade, it has two metal plates leaving very little room for movement between them, mines an October 86, I can only find 2 others on the museum like mine, both are 86, do you think it was a failed idea, and it was scrapped early on in production?

First pic is an 86 with just the hanger for the adjusters
Second pic is mine with adjuster hangers and a second plate with a single hole for cable exit

oldschoolace:
Got a clearer and larger pic of yours?

Jaymz:
Not at the moment clint, but it's the same as the front one, it just has a single hole in it for the cable to exit , will see if I can grab the close up on BMX museum

oldschoolace:
yep I know what you mean now, quickest solution is to wind the two front barrel adjusters out as far as possible, that should give you a bit more room, also set your pads/caliper so they are only just clearing the rims

yup that's how I'm running it, it's still poo
Think I will have to bite the bullet and replace the cables throughout, the inners all looked ok, but after drowning the outeRS with WD the orangey rust colour that came out wasn't promising, and they are a bit crunchy.
And I'm running skyway tuff pads, the original ones white with black writing, and even with the caliper at it's most open position they still pretty much touch the rims, and that's with the small 'wobble' washers on the inside and the large on the outside of the caliper
