    sierra rear calipers help on escort

    basically iv had a bit of a mock up this morning to plan how im gonna do this.

    I just need someone thats done this to check its looking right as iv never done anything like this before
    ----------------------------------

    firstly

    i have the caliper mounted behind the disk with the cable entering from beneath. would you say thats the best way to do it?


    ----------------------

    secondly

    the slack i have near the axle. Do i make brackets to tidy it up and hold it close to the axle casing?, or find a way of strapping it up to the floor?


    ----------------------

    thirdly

    this is the rough gap im left between the handbrake lever and the half moon. Does it look about right? i guess i need to make a twisted joint for this?




    i wish id never binned that copy of CF now that had all this in on the silver mk1 with the green and black stripes)

    Cable up to axle casing and then into the two cable stops on the diff tunnel .. the only thing you have to make sure is that the cable ar clear of the prop.

    everything else is ok

    As long as thats the bleed nipple with the red bung on it

    yep :-D

    attaching the cable to the axle is not going to affect the brakes if i go over a bump or anything is it, but i suppose its just the outer cable attached really.

    cheers

    Just make sure nothing is hanging down to catch (road kill! etc) and that the cable runs smothly.
