Clips for rear handbrake cables?
Rimmers shows two clips for the rear handbrake cables - #10 here. Can anyone remember what they clip onto?
I've just reattached the cables to the shoes (via the holes in the trailing arms) and the cables are touching the edges of the subframe. Presumably clips #10 are supposed to prevent this. That'll teach me not to take pics before taking it to bits. What the heck is #12 too? |

Not sure is saloon and Tourer handbrake is different but in front of the sum frame on my tourer, is a bracket that holds both handbrake cables. The bracket is just about at the point of the points of number 10.

Looking on that Rimmers site the rear handbrake cables cost £70.00 EACH.---
How can a piece of wire cost that much ???-- |

PS. Clips 10 are nothing to do with the Y bracket. In the diagram they look like plastic with a barbed metal pinch clip (on the right) to attach them to one of the arms or the subframe itself.

I don't recall the handbrake cables being clipped to the arms. Only sensors being clipped.

Here's a pic of a real clip #10 (it's used for something else on Land Rovers)
- https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.p...nge_rover_l322 The handbrake cable goes into the big U-shaped plastic part on the left. The barbed metal thing on the right pushes onto something* and stays there - that's what holds the cable away from the subframe. * e.g. spot welded seam of upper arm, or edge of subframe. |

That's from Rave p368. Not sure if the clips mentioned refer to #10 here - or whatever attaches the cables to the car forward of the Y bracket (which Rave calls a guide bracket). |
