Handbrake cable routing

Hello.

Can anyone post some pics of how they've gone about the routing of the handbrake cables?

I've seen the pics on the Hellfire site (my first point of reference every time - top site!), but the pics are a bit small.

I'm particularly interested in how the cables go into the tunnel (how did it all come apart/go back together).

Just before I go and pull it apart and ruin the cable, thought it would be best to do some research!

i also had a bit of a problem thinking about how the cable from the sierra is too long for the locost, and how does one go about cutting that thick metal cover it has...

Hi,I dont know if you have noticed but it looks as if your outer CV bolts are rubbing on the top wishbone.
I may be wrong but I thought I'd mention it,sorry but I'm used to checking vehicles over for a living.
I'm so sad that I unknowingly inspect lorries as I drive by them on the motorway looking to see if the lights and wheelnuts look OK!





Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

Be careful.

Mine were similar to winkingj but failed SVA as mine has a live axle and the inspector felt it was too close.

Would be OK with a fixed diff as shown though.





I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.

I think Dean C means the contact areas on the wishbone and allen bolts, looks like contact on full bump?
