Mark, thats right, mine is exactly the same, check this out.....



You can see where the cable should push into the original retaining clip, but no chance as you say. I just cable tied mine further down round the tie bars, no problems.

Cable tie it to the tie bars as Adam said

John Laverick

Same on mine....just that little bit to short. I have noticed on a couple of peoples cars with 2wd rear disc conversions that the caliper is fitted on the front side of the disc rather than the rear

Ryan

yeah as said it depends where you mount the callipers

but as suggested i cable tied mine to the tie bars

adamS2RST

Mine are mounted on the rear John, probs same as you if urs is a zoo kit

does it matter where the caliper goes on the hub? cos mine are @ the top right and i have also cable tied the cable to the rear arb

BODGE

its way to short to even tie it to the tie bars it will never reach then ??
heres a pic of it taking the shortest route and still short

i think you lot have got the wrong end of the stick lol the sheath of the cable on mine it black and should go from the fix points to the fix point on the calipar ???????? mine is FAR to short and thats with out running it as adam has to the tie bars ??????????

looking at the pic it looks like the calipar needs going the other way round, but i still wont be able to tie it to the tie bars as it will still be short and the inner cable seem WAY to long ????????????????????????????????

i can see it staying in the garage another 2 years at this rate

think you boys must be doing something wrong then, mine were at the back of the disc, and i had plenty of slack, infact i would say too much, hence cable tieing it to the tie bars, other wise it would have caught the wheels

adamS2RST

As per Ryan, I wouldn't say too much as the rs2k cable wouldnt mount on the chassis in the original position.

But there was plenty at the caliper end, and mine are fitted at the back of the disc and the handy cable comes up from underneath, yours doesnt look right mark

Also your braided hose looks a little stretched

Arn't you using esco cos rear callipers and not sierra? are they the same? I have no idea, maybe that is why?

BODGE

am 99.9% sure it is the wrong cable peeps, it just dont look right, would love to have the fin code for the propper one so i know im getting the right one

the braided line is fine adam, just looks it in the pic

mark

BODGE

at this angle it look fine

adamS2RST

Ahh yea, cool.



I'll have a look see if I can dig the finis out for you Mark

The RS2000 cable should turn out like this if you get the correct one. (minus the rust lol)



I think Clint has sent you something else maybe ???

PS your post in 2003 shows how long this has taken..... you stated it was "easy fit"

i never got the cable for clint as i had this one already m8, and the stuff form clint was easy to fit, i just never fitted the cable then lol

Bodge your welcome to come and have a look at mine if you want as the back wheels are off anyways

Mine's an RS2000 cable and it hangs down a bit, gonna tie wrap it like Tony and Adam said

BODGE

RIGHT went and order'd another cable today, this time making sure it was an early mk5 RS2000 item, if this turns out to be the wrong one then i'll have to get someone that sells the rear disc set up to send me one

if anyone know the fin number plz tell me its the right one the number is 6676123 and cost £40
