I have noticed that a lot of you are using a cable to actuate your hydraulic brakes. What type of cable and hand control do you use? We have hydraulic brakes on the bsr we are building and could not get the brakes to work very well using cable. Any info would be appreciated.

i would say bike cables or universal cables, all they really are is sheathed wire, i would look at a bikeshop or the bike area of walmart.

I used both bicycle cables and levers. The cables are teflon coated and operate much smoother than standard sheathed cables you get from go-kart places.
