handbrake for the cortina axle

Hi guys,

wanna get started on my handbrake cable for the cortina diff. Any good ideas, anybody got some good pictures, links etc. need to see where to mount everything and so on.

Thanks
darren

PS enjoy the world cup!

I'll post some pictures of mine on Monday. It was very simple, just cut down a new cable and connected it together with mini U-clamps from a trailer shop.

PS Boycoting World Cup cos of Zimbabwe, and cos we're sh*t at cricket!

Pictures now up, I've only shown the handbrake end, not wheel end. I just welded a flat bar in where the axle nose goes, then passed the handbrake cables, fuel and brake pipes through.

Any question let me know.

Thanks, that does help!

I didn't even think about doing it that way. I was trying to work out how to take one cable from the handbrake and then split it and mount it somewhere around the diff, but your method will be much better!

cheers
