Started by spending an hour tidying up, the
garage was a mess after last weeks work.
I started on the handbrake by fixing the
brackets to the rear uprights but as I have not fitted the driveshafts yet I
had to pack them out to get them in the right position. Calipers were then bolted in position.
I was given a handbrake repair end by MK so
proceeded to cut off one end of my handbrake cable. I unthreaded everything and started to fit
the guide spring tube. One has a plastic
locking nut on which locks to the chassis.
The other has a yellow plastic end, which I cut and filed away so I
could install a circlip to hold it to the chassis.
I didn’t have any circlips so I filed a bit
more away and used an M10 washer that I cut a 10mm slot in. It seems to hold it tightly enough.
Tomorrow I can make a couple of brackets to
support the handbrake cables and try to gut the actual cable to length. Also need to get some new rear discs as the
ones I bought don’t fit over the wheel hubs.
