Definately didn't fit mine, couldn't even get enough cable to come out to wrap aroud the handbrake arm on the caliper. I'd never seen one like it before, 2 cables and a half moon that the cables fitted into....
On the other hand, I bought an Escort Cossie handbrake cable today, a one piece jobbie which appears to be the one I was after, so we'll see when I fit it next weekend. It's identical to the RS Turbo one even has the adjusters on the one side near the half moon, except with ends to fit calipers.

It was a combination of not having the correct sized disks, waiting for new disks to arrive, not having spacers and waiting for my uncle to make them, when you count up the time spent on the car, it really didn't take too long, an hour and a half.

Vented disks are off the Escos/Sapph cossie 4x4, the calipers you have must be off one of those, the calipers I have are off a 2wd Cosworth/XR4x4 hence solid disks.
