Just after some advice from those of you who have fitted the mk beam on their cossie, how did you secure your hand brake to the beam as mines doesn’t have the same holes as the original?

Cheers

 

Mine was no different to standard.

 

Think you have to weld some on

 

Mine is a totally different shape where the handbrake cable would pass through

 

Cable ties ha ha.

 

This is mine, didn't know what else to do apart from cable ties!

I am a bit concerned that it could get trapped at full suspension compression and might have to re-think it...

 

thats how mine is makes no odds at all lol.

 

Mines is same as yours mark, a bit annoying tbh, I was thinking about tapping a hole on the beam and using a p clip

 

That pic makes sense. It didn’t figure on my 205 as the shell is so different. Sorry it did not occur to me

 

It's probably a Ł5k extra to have the brackets you need

 

 

Nice to see the rubber boots. Same on mine didnt want to chance water/dirt in the joint

 

On the recent retro power vid they said they have stopped using the rubber boots as they caused premature wear by holding in dirt and moisture as they aged.

 

He said in the video that perished rubber boots trap water and also said that no boot would wear the joints. I have had less then 2 year old rod ends completley worn out with out boots on and no they weren't cheap rod ends. Also there is a possible proble with MOT compliance as suspension joints need as the joints need dust boots fitted.

 

I fitted rubber boots mon all my rose joints

 

Boots on mine

 

What did you do with your handbrake cable mate

 

Think mine just rest on the beam with the origininal hole rubbers, i may look at putting a p clip on them as you say
