Got a 6 with no handbrake. What parts might be needed to replace it? Handle, cables (is it 1, or 2?), anything else? Does the cable go straight to the rear caliper?

Ta.

Have you laid under the back with someone else operating the handbrake to see what movement you have?

2 cables, one each side. They go to a lever arm on the caliper.

    two cables, one running to each caliper next to the exhaust tunnel

    handbrake itself is the lever bolted to the floorpan (2x nuts) and that's about it. that pulls a horizontal bar with two notches out of it which in turn grip the handbrake cables and yank them. i am going to assume you knew this anyway

    LOL

    Yes, I knew that. It was the cable bit and how it attached to the caliper; one of the few parts of a car I've never got involved with breaking before. Big grin

    Dan - it has no handbrake. No lever, I'm assuming no cables either (although I haven't looked underneath the car). As long as the lever on the caliper is still there then it'll be sweet.

    Cheers for the info. Thumbs up

    whatever he offers it to you for, tell him you have found the same part elsewhere for 50p less, and he'll knock another quid off. fact of the day
