Handbrake actuation help sort
Discussion
Does anyone have any photos of how the handbrake mechanism for a V8 S should look like from under the car or a decent diagram?
My S1 has been converted to a rear disc set up some time in the past (which works well with the foot brake) but gives problems with the handbrake - drags slightly when 'off' and isn't good when applied. I assume the mod was done using parts from the V8 S but am not sure that the cable routing is correct or that the lever length below the handbrake lever pivot point is correct. The cable routing appears quite different from one side to the other - this does result in uneven force being applied to the mechanical actuators on the rear calipers.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Dave
