Hi all.
I need help with a installation of a hand brake cable.
My rear calipers have no place to connect this. My e30 is a old rally car and original cables ware cut off and brakes modify. Anyone have photo of original parking brake cable connection to caliper?

There is no connection to the calliper. E30s, and BMWs in general, have a conventional drum brake inside the bell of the disc which serves as the handbrake.

Parking brake is nothing to do with the callipers. It will still work even if the callipers are off the car.
All the bits in the link I posted are fitted inside the bell of the disc.

Google "e30 handbrake cable" and look at images.
There's some pics of the brake disc removed and this should help you.
