Thanks guys perfect!

Andrew
your pic is how I was imaging Les's (Rebel1) description. Is that frame your car? It looks very much like a Mk1 ie the same as mine.

Stuart
your handbrake looks very similiar to mine, it looks like you have the clevis pin end attached to the handbrake, how did you achieve a swiveling action between hbrake attachment hole and cable clevis yoke?

My hbrake has some sort of pressed copper? tube inserted in a way that it will not come out (rolled outer edges) but it does not rotate. This would not provide a rotating fulcrum action if I attached the threaded adjusting end of the cable to this point.

If I attach the clevis yoke I can align the hbrake hole with the two holes in the yoke and attach with some form of bolt but side room is tight. Is this the best way to go? This then leaves adjustment as Rebel indicated to be made beneath car.

Also is it advisable to put a rubber grommet in the hole in the rear cabin wall through which the hbrake cable will pass to protect the cable outer from wear against the metal sides of the hole it is passing through?

Additionally both cable ends terminate in the same stepped metal sleeve, one end of which fits into the jag hbrake caliper attachment point. Is it advisable to clamp the hbrake end using a type of clamp eg like a clipsal conduit clamp?

I have presumed that this end and part of the handbrake cable passes through the rear steel of the cabin though it looks in your pic Andrew that the hbrake end of the cable does terminate in the rear wall. What is the go here?

Cheers guys
