Well finished my fuel rail bracket off tonight, just got to make a few bosses for it



Then onto the handbrake cables, I thought this would be an easy job but it wasn't, the cables weren't really long enough and not sitting nicely, I was ready to leave it for tonight then I thought about making some exstention tubes



The cables are a snug fit in the tubes and locate on 50mm also it stops them from rubbing on the diff

I just need to make a couple of brackets to hold the cables in place off the wishbone bolts



I've removed the adjuster from the cable but I will still have adjustment on the cable end fitting as it has grub screws in

Don't be tempted to have a "few" notch handbrake as you don't get leverage to give you good brake force,4-5 notches is good .

Nice build .

As long as you get good leverage and it does not run out of travel it should be ok.

Once its up and running try it on the road or MOT rollers,probably not a good idea to rely on adjusting it at the caliper ends and IVA man might not like it either.

Basically what you are doing is turning a shaft/bolt against the pads to produce the effort.
