Do you mean the half-moon thingy on the standard Sierra handbrake cable?
I am using the Wilwood handbrake calipers and just used the standard Sierra jobbie - a bit crude but it works well.

Raz, where did you buy the quadrant thingy from? I'm after the same. If from Ford then do you have the part # as everytime I go to my Ford
Dealer he asks for chassis number and as I havent got a Ford chassis its difficult

It really is just the standard handbrake cable iirc. I think you just have to be persistent and say that it's for any S I E R R A. They will
eventually get the message and find one.

Handbrake Fork
I adapted mine from a CRX. What I like about it is that it has adjustment. There is a photo of it on in my photo archive.
Not sure how to post them on here yet.

No need to use the Powerlite cables - the standard Sierra cable fits fine .... and not a nipple in sight. When I ordered my Powerlites I didn't
think about the handbrake cables but decided they fitted ok for the time being.
Actually I would be interested in having a look at the caliper end of your cables. I assume there are two separate cables which would need to be
'commoned' in some way and then connected to the lever cable.
