Handbrake cable resting on rear uprights. Is this right?
Just wondering where the rear handbrake cables should sit in relation to the rear uprights. Currently the cable is positioned as can be seen in the
picture below. Is this right? It's very close to the wheel at the minute and will probably wear the powdercoating away on the top of the
upright.

Slide a bit of rubber tubing over it, that's what manufacturers do.

Completly different car, I know, but mine are horizontal and go under the lower wishbone.
Have you got it on the right side?

Mr IVA won't like that
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Again, completely different car but these are my Sierra calipers on the nearside rear, viewed from underneath. Putting them on this way brings the
cable out horizontally along the bottom of the wishbone and puts the bleed nipple at the top.

Just make up a little bracket to hold the handbrake cable, bolt it to the upright using that top wishbone mount. Bit of rubber around cable and
it'll look like its supposed to be there.

Here's how it looks on mine.
The cable is from a Sierra.

Thanks for the reply. I did manage get this sorted in the end. I bent the cables to the side and fixed them to the diagonal bracing at the top of the
shock absorber with rubber lines p clips. Once clipped it can't slide and so will never rub against the wheel.
