Are Kwik Fit ripping me off?

The handbrake cable recently went on my Corsa. I took it to Kwik Fit who advised that the cable they need comes in a pack of two so instead of the charge being £43.50 it will actually be £77. Why are they charging me for two parts if they are only using one?

Ask a Vauxhall dealer if this is indeed the case. Probably is.
