Handbrake cable
The way i've been going about my build is "if it looks wrong, it probably is". So guys, what have i done wrong with my handbrake cable?
Also, i plan on cutting it just before the handbrake lever, but what's best to join it back together?  Cheers Dave

The adjuster goes behind the plate, so you adjust the cable from the diff area. If you cut the cable at the handbrake end, cable clamps can be used to rejoin the two halves.

Makes sense, thanks for the reply.
The reason i had it this way is the rubber grommets were already on the cable in that position (obviously more room in the sierra)

Suggestion,and it has been made before. Set the cable up on one side brake and fit cable to other side and shorten only one side by pulling the excess out of one side.
Dont forget to remove any lip on the drums and this will make setting up the brakes easier after pressing the pedal to adjust them and then a few clicks manually they will be spot on. Last edited by flyerncle : 31st August 2010 at 07:47 PM.

Basically he means instead of cutting a bit off each end, pull the slack through then just chop the one end.
I think instead of doing it that way, i'm going to pull the slack through to the handbrake lever, then cut it and join it back together with the slack removed. Make sense?

Thats the only pic i've got showing the slack coming through (where i'm going to cut and rejoin shorter).
The eagle eyed amongst you will notice i got my diff, driveshafts, drums and rear wheels on today, thanks to the guys at Saturn
