Hello. I’m assembling some rear trailing arms for a disc conversion on my 320i. I’ve got most of the parts on but I can’t figure out how to position and secure the handbrake cable and the brake pipes since I got rid of the clips and fixtures while stripping them, and didn’t take pictures before doing so.

Has anybody got a diagram or pictures of how the brake pipes and handbrake cable is orientated on the trailing arms?

Thanks

Maybe look in the restoration section or ongoing projects there will be photos of what you need somewhere. …Comfy chair and a brew job…?

Bear in mind that image is upside down to how they are fitted on the car :)
