Hi all. One job for this winter is to fit a Wilwood front big brake kit to my 450 (mostly because it looks better than the ford stuff!) and I already have the 16" wheels and the brake kit. However, looking through the Rally Design catalogue for Wilwood spares, I see that they make a rear caliper that includes a cable handbrake attachment. So, has anyone fitted these to the back of a Chim? While I have the braking system in bits, I would like to put Willwoods all round, but only if I can be sure of how to make the handbrake work again!

Ian.

I have put Escort cossie rear discs with Granny 24V calipers and bearing housings, Bigger discs so you need to space them out, and also the discs are wider (vented.).
