Cumulus Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hello All My handbrake cables are fouling with the Axle Inner Boot Dust Boot. I have tried swopping the cables and crossing them over the chassis rear suspension crossmember, but they still foul. Because the suspension moves, I am hesitant to cable tie them out the way as the cable ties will just snap in time. How can I stop them fouling? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BRINDUS44 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hi Dave , You have the handbrake levers on the backplate the facing the wrong way. Easy fix. Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stuart Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Also make sure you have the backplates on the right side and while youve got it all in bits again check that there isnt a groove in the backplate where the handbrake lever pivots, if so weld them up, grind flat and that will stop poor rear brake performance.

PodOne Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Should there be a couple of brackets that the cables run through attached to the top of the diff? There was on my TR6 but that might just be peculiar to the 6. Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
