Default 4-caliper + handbrake rear?

How have you solved the problem with the handbrake back when you switched to larger calipers?
I'll switch to the 330 front and 300 rear and must replace calipers front and rear, but must also retain the hand brake wire.

Is there anyone that uses both 4-calipers and original calipers only for handbrake? How did you mount it?

Regards/Jonas

I think there are pics on the Reyland site using the original caliper for handbrake

Yes, I have seen that. But I don't understand how those brackets could make me use both a aftermarket caliper and original for the handbrake.

Do you need bigger calipers though? Might risk locking the rear wheels with too much on the back.

You can file the originals for clearance and use the brackets that come with the Reyland kit

I MUST replace. I'm gonna make a registration on the car, and need to change all brake system. But I can use the original caliper for the handbrake.

Alternatively, a caliper with handbrake from start.
In front I got Brembo 4pot and 330mm discs. No abs, just double headcylinder.
