And I completely removed the EB handbrake setup over the weekend, and installed the EL stuff.
Are you referring to the pivot point? Where the cable then cross the car through the engine mount to the left hand side? The adjuster is on the right hand side. I hate it all as it is a crap arrangement. Just leave it in gear. LOL That is what I have been doing for months. BenJ

I have the wire that crosses from right side, under gearbox to the left side, but how does the other one connect up? the long threaded rod with the nut and the bracket, plus the wire with the little metal cover thing.

In the land of the Long Dust Cloud you don't have real hills do you Benj?! Are you aware Dunedin has the steepest street in the world? Wellington may not have the steepest street in the world, but it has the least amount of flat streets in the world (!)I leave mine in gear and find it moving jerkily down the road 10 seconds later..... Sucked. ... BenJ XFWAGON wrote: Lol BenJ, if you saw Dunedin (where i live) you would re think about leaving it in gear lol, Dunedin has more mega hills, hills, slight hills and inclines than flat surfaces. About the only place to park that is flat, is in a parking building or main street lol
Oh, that's kind of what I said. Bugger me for not reading your reply first Duno's brother. Brings me to a nice point tho - Years back driving the old V8 Range Rover to collect snow (I had a thing for making the first snowman / woman in Queenstown each year, don't ask why...) I left it with the handbrake on and in gear with 4WD engaged. I threw a few shovel loads of snow onto the tarpulin on the back and was bloody amazed to see the heavy car start off down the road all by itself. It took some rescuing as it was gaining speed with all four wheels locked. What was happening was the water on the tyres would freeze and then the wheels would turn into ice skates in reverse. Soon as I jumped in, released brake and applied foot brake it stopped again. I left motor running and used handbrake only after that and had to catch the car another four or five times before it got dark, cold and I got fed up with worrying about where the heavy old British V8 would end up next... At least with the handbrake on only the front wheels would still turn and have some sort of steering... With all four locked you go mighty sideways, mighty quick smart. Bloody cold South Island. You're better of without it. Just how far away is this car of yours from cruising the Octagon picking up resplendently presented ho's? ... |

OK
Hopefully this will help. Pics are taken as if standing at the front of the car looking down to the brake cables. Whole thing.  Left cable crosses through the trans crossmember and connects to pivot cable. Pivot and adjustment.  The pivot lever goes 'THROUGH' the chassis, and has a 'pivot pin' that drops down through a hole on a bracket on the inside edge of the chassis. The park of the pivot that comes through the chassis and is now on the outside edge connect to the handbrake handle cable. The pic also shows where the adjustment bracket is situated. Hope that helps, best I can do. Cheers BenJ

Cheers BenJ, that helps heaps. thanks! Hopefully be finishing her off tomorrow, WOF check next week.
Fiend, hopefully be cruising the Octagon next week lol. Although i see the cops are soon to get a new law that can stop cars from doing laps in the inner city..... Somehow i could see you doing the laps down here in the Futurlane and doing drifts around the octagon lol....... As For Benzea, try and talk him out of that grenade he wants me to look at lol, waste of money. the NU Fairlane would be money better spent IMO

Yeahp. I've tried warning him about that Soobie grenade and now he is looking at the Lancaster (Grande Wagon) or something. 2.5L of boxer six that might just make it up a hill on a good day. At least with the amount of power it (doesn't) have it won't smoke up all four wheels on the ice. Grin.
I'm not that big on "doing laps" mate. I go one way only. And this isn't due to the car having different colours on each side at all.  Drifting around the Octagon sounds do-able however........ |

Yeah. The gearboxes do tend to go crunch a bit in those 90 edition Scoobie Doobies.
(Hey, was Scoobie Doobie Doo a stoner or something... I can feel something hitting me on the noggin - Yeahp, that's it - The penny is dropping) (And SCRAPPY DOO was the total lost twin brother of my old Pit Bull, Boni......)  Stay on topic FiendYou should have seen ChCh a few years back man. Don't know what it's like now, but what a bloody joke it was. The whole street was cars and people actually had time to discuss the merits of the renaissance movement in detail with cars going in the opposite direction. Apart from they wouldn't. A) None were old enough to know what art is. B) None looked clever enough to spell their own name correctly. C) They were all too cool to look at each other. D) You try TEXT SPEAKING "renaissance" quickly. I honestly could walk the whole street (about 2km long) buy a Burger, eat the burger and walk back towards home and see the same bright green civic scraping its body kit down the road just two or three blocks from where I passed it on foot twenty minutes ago. Anyways, seems like Chch has it's car problems. Not the least of which being that all the sons and daughter of redneck bogans are growing up, buying ricers and getting STD's whilst s**t faced in the back of some rotary whilst scaring wildlife and driving through party goers, killing them. |

CHCH's hoons look worse than Dunners, and our hoons seem to be totally screwed. I dunno where they get the money from, as you always see them doing the laps during the day. No jobs?!
Yeap, hopefully it stays sunny long enough to get 'er going. All thats left to do is hook up the handbrake, stick in the dizzy and time it. I really wish i had a garage, then this could have been done in a matter of weeks, not a year lol. Bloody hard working on it when it's pissing down, -5 degrees and snowing 6 days a week. Dunedin gets all four seasons in one day.

Off to BNT for a new one. Bought one but didn't have the holes for the Falcon terminals, go back, extra $20 to buy one with holes, wtf? More money, less battery. Could have drilled them myself but then it voids the warranty. New one should be here this avo, once thats in, were away!!
