Handbrake cable problem

I have a problem with the clearance between my handbrake cable and my rear wishbones and I think it my cause an SVA fail.

The handbrake cables rub on the bottom wishbones and I can't bend them any further than what they are due to the metal covering on the cable.

Has anyone got any suggestions on how I could resolve this problem? Different cables perhaps.

The rear callipers are from a Serria as are the handbrake cables. Rescued attachment DSC01180.jpg

Hard to tell from your photos but maybe if you swapped the calipers from one side to the other and had the cable coming out from the top it would help?

Cheers

My handbrake cables touch my DeDion. I just covered them with rubber host and cable tied them so they couldn't rub. SVA man didn't comment.

I have thought about swapping the calipers over but I may have the same problem with the top wishbone,may give it a try.

Failing that I think I might cover it with a rubber tube and tiewrap the cable to the bottom wish bone.

also if you swap them over they need taking off to bleed them!

I had to swap my calipers over to prevent the handbrake cable hanging too far below the chassis
