Did you replace the handbrake cable when you did the conversion?

If so what car have you had the handbrake cable from?

[wee gav]

no its just te standerd corsa cabile

[Hebs!]

So your corsa's original cable is still on the car?

What car and model have you had the parts for the conversion from?

[wee gav]

yeah the stanted cabilles are still there its hubs off a 2.0l 16v cavalier

[Hebs!]

So the problem is the handbrake cable is too long on the drivers side for it to connect to the brake system??

Are the connections right? i.e. you can connect both sides of the cable

[rhydgte]

Can the slack not be taken up by the handbrake lever? Are you sure the cable is routed correctly?

[wee gav]

Any pics of the cable ?

[wee gav]

no pics its just a corsa hand brake cabil and its 4inch to big

[Hebs!]

hmmmm people do this all the time so must be a solution.....anyone???

[rhydgte]

Obviously it is, but I don't understand how you have 4 inches of slack if it's the original cable and is routed and adjusted correctly..

i agree with rhyd is it clipped to the rear axle correctly?as iirc you have to swap the guides for disc brake rather than the drum
