Title: handbrake rear cable bracket
Post by: Roybeth on April 04, 2020, 08:06:30 PM
Has anyone got a pic of what the set up is for the rear handbrake cable lever,  think I'm missing a bracket or something

Hi Errol, thanks heaps for that.

Sorry I wasn't very clear I meant where the back cable is hooked up to the front cable. this is what I have but not sure how it is attached to the car, I'm thinking there should be another bracket to go on the front cross member.

I can't find it in the manual - if I've missed it please let me know the page to look at as I would have thought it should be in there somewhere.

The mount and fulcrum are on a wee cross member that bolts up around the extension housing if you are running original crash box.

lol still spent a bit of time looking the bracket - finally realised its been staring me in the face as its welded onto the gearbox support (which I hadn't realised was the rusty muddy item at the bottom of my crate of items we took off the ute) - I'ld been looking for something a tad smaller. At last I'm with the program!
