bxhunt Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm in the process of converting a 1994 HPC race car to road use and need to sort out the handbrake arrangement. It has the chassis fitment for an under dash lever - and not much else. Is anyone able to advise what the cable route is from lever to the rear calipers and how the system works (presumably) on the rear calipers please?My previous two Caterhams were both live axle hence my ignorance.Incidentally, if anyone has any of the bits going spare, that I need for the handbrake I would be delighted to provide cash in exchange.Many thanks,Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Have a look at page 122 here:www.regins.dk/Caterham/Assembly_guide_1992.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bxhunt Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Many thanks rj. In fact the access to the Assembly Guide is invaluable for other bits and pieces as well.Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I have this recorded: Handbrake Lever Under dash type is from mk1 Mini apparently OR perhaps Triumph Herald ? It needs to be bent before use ...... The rear cable looks suspiciously like a standard ford part but I don't know which one. I would guess that the primary cable is Caterham specific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul jacobs Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I may still have a spare pre-bent OE Caterham under dash handbrake lever knocking around somewhere, if it is any help, I will have a look and see if I can find it and send you a PM Barry.

TomB Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Does anyone have an exploded diagram/ fitting instruction for the under dash handbrake? I've always had a niggling doubt that mine is assembled correctly as there is a bolt head or nut that rubs on the chassis/ bulkhead skin that I've not been able to fix.

ECR Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 This looks promising for the rear cable. Its Sierra Mk1 https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/vaico/869289?&gshp=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAzKnjBRDPARIsAKxfTRC9MVZamsrpCJc9a82rP1m_SoStmahhWZ-pYverAHsLj4AVEPzOd6QaAviaEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 TomB, Mine does that too, only way to fix really is to file some off the bolt head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
