heres my mx5 handbrake. i cut the cable bracket from the donor and welded that in the same place as the book bracket, then fitted the cables which gave me the handle position, works a treat and means its all standard, the saturn plans show a homemade cable for the last bit which i just dont like

heres one of the handbrake, clears the gearstick ok , could be further back by welding the cable clamp plate further back, i also welded on the small bracket that straightens the short cable into the handle, it cam off the trans tunnel of the mx5 and keeps the cable straigh and more importantly away from the prop
