Default MoT Failure - Handbrake

Failed due to handbrake not meeting spec. I did think that it was getting near the stops. The garage are holding the car pending further investigation on monday but i fear that the cables are stretched. The calipers were refurbed in 2015 and then sent back to Big Redd for an "out of warranty" refurb due to a leaking handbrake shaft seal in 2019 so they SHOULD be ok . Are the cables still available? Does anyone have the part No to hand?
Its a pity this happened right now as I was about to try and steer some minor paint repairs and a detailing through the Financial Scrutiny Committee. (Consist of 1 member)
