Happy new year everyone!

Putting the rear end back together and trying to route in the handbrake cable to the alloy uprights. The near side goes in pretty well but the offside does not. The mounting point on the chassis is off centre making one of the cables a very tight fit.
Has anyone any pictures showing the correct route or can advise me on this? Its been a while since I took it all apart.

Thank you all.

Thank you for that. But mines a 71 Vixen. I should have said, sorry.

As you can see the near side fits pretty well.

But the off side is tighter. The cable is just about touching the prop shaft. It's too short to go round the diff brackets. It must fit there somehow.

Not sure what you mean. They are already slotted into an original welded bracket. There is no where else to mount it.....

Yes, they are the same length, that's the main problem. The OSR could do with being about 4inches shorter. Not sure what to do but thanks for all your help.

Are they supposed to be different lengths then? I might have to get a new one that fits better.

Just tried it and it's still a difficult fit. Going to measure the right length and get some new ones made up.
Thanks for all the pictures and help.
