Default Rear Disc Conversion

Has anyone got any pics of doing the Rear Disc Conversion on a Cortina or Capri plse

Just need to know where to locate the bracket for the hand brake cable. I'd heard that the Escort Cossie cable will fit as it's slightly shorter than the Sierra one, but dunno untill I get one

Cheers Peeps

use your capri cable guide under handbrake,use a sierra cable any rear disc one! think i used xr4x4 the adjustment is so great that you can use were the exsisting mounts are and mod to suit
