Does anyone know if the handbrake cables are different lengths from 3dr to Sapphire to Escort or if 2wd is different to 4wd.

Basically I went to fit my rear brakes to the 3dr project and I have a big disk kit so moves the caliper out but the cable would not reach, the cable is a brand new 2wd item.

After messing about for ages I removed the new cable to check it against the old one. On measuring the new cable is 140mm shorter than the old.

Anyone know what lengths the cables should be or if when fitting the 300mm rear disk kit you should use a different cable.
