Default rear upright assy

Hi all, I am just about to finish welding rear uprights and I seem to remember that there was an issue with getting handbake cable into hole in backing plates with drum brakes. Was the solution of just trimming the plate RU1 the answer?
I cannot find thread relating to this so would welcome any answers from those who have already done ther's.
cheers
tony

I thought it was an issue with disc rear brakes.

hi ozzy, it looks like it will be a really tight fit to get the cable in and I don't want to finish welding before checking. I could do with clrarification before taking to college tomorrow, last nite as well!
cheers

It is a bit tight, but I guess you can grind out some space if you want a bit later, before painting the uprights. Or you can do without it, the backing plate will flex and conform anyway.
