Re: Handbrake Cable for rear disc brake conversion
Ok just wondering what the difference is between offset and flat, I look online when I type in the search a few come up but they all look the same to me. Lol

When I was searching for caliper carriers I came across some VW Golfs with different offset rear discs. The carrier angles back from the bolt mounting holes.

Re: Handbrake Cable for rear disc brake conversion
Just seen these whilst searching the same sort of vehicles, will these work as they combine the carrier and caliper

Re: Handbrake Cable for rear disc brake conversion
and thanks again for that pic about the tubing, i have another write up aswell from someone on face crook, where they cut the spring back on the handbrake cable but left about 1 1/4" of spring on cable to allow for the return correctly of the cable to avoid any sticking. So have it mapped out what i need to do.

Cool, no problem.
Not had any issues with return sticking myself but there's always more than one way to skin a cat.

Re: Handbrake Cable for rear disc brake conversion
really interesting discussion, may I ask what adapter you are using to attach the brakes to the bearing carrier as that seems to be missing from the conversation ?
