Cortina axle and hand brake cable/ asembly pics needed
Howdy
I also require some pics of a hand brake asembly for the cortina axle.
Reading other post it apears the cables are being shortened, where about do you shorten them and if cutting the end off them how do you then conect it
to the brake shoe or lever.
Many thanks in advance

with the diff loading from the back, i think its actually a koln axle (similar to the atlas, but not quite the same)

They may well be Sierra rear brakes. Certainly bigger than the drums on the 'spare' axle I had.
My hand brake lever is Sierra. It pulls a single cable that in turn pulls 2 seperate cables, left and right.
Pics later if I get in the garage.
