( could have been cut down HQ???)
but while ive got you, ive also got a disc rear out of a VN and was wondering how you adapted the handbrake cable.? did you switch it to floor mount? mine is still in original position under dash as i have bench seat still, but cant get the rear cable to meet with the cable from the handbrake. i was told an EH intermitdent cable might match the two up???? sorry wasnt much help with the box but feel free to ask and i may be able to help you out. good luck dean Title: Re: 5 Speed Manual Post by: fastjbav6 on September 23, 2003, 10:23:51 AM Mal Wood Geargoxes in QLD supplies tailshaft yokes to suit Supra g/boxes that take Ford size uni's, which are the largest size u can get 4 strength. Don't know if Celica yokes are the same.

Have not done the handbrake cable at this stage. But have been told the same about EH I hope this is so as I plan to leave the handle under dash. Have VK SLE interior & HR centre console to fit. I would like to take a fribeglass mould off the console so I dont chop up an original steel one. I also wish to keep the car original from the out side except for the 14" wheels, and tinted windows. So far have Front & Rear End in & Brakes working. Not happy with the boster will change to HG Holden I think Just trying to avoid choping up the firewall. Thinking of useing VK Commodore Manual Tunnel. Need to measure a few things first, Second, Third then cut once.
