disk rear trailing arm

[dje30]

I have bought some complete disk rear trailing arms
Arms
Disks
Calipers
Hand brake cables

My only question is how do I go about fitting the hand brake cables as the ones attatched to the arms don't have any plastic covers round them.
Do I feed the cables through my existing ones?
Thanks

Ends must have been cut off of the cables, in which case they are scrap.

Handbrake cable outer's rust to the guide tube where the cable enters the car.So at a wild guess,your supplier has just un-bolted the cable at the handbrake and pulled the lot through.

I am not sure what the difference is between disc brake h/b cables and drum brake h/b cables,if any,but a hunt through one of the online parts lists will tell you if the part has the same number.

TBO,if it were me,I would fit a pair of nice new cables anyway!

I'll try and get some pictures up later

I have to renew the disks and pads so maybe new handbrake cables isn't a bad shout


Another question I forgot to add was I just bought an e46 rack
What ujs ect is best too use?

Cables are different at the hub end, so can't be interchanged.
There is a four inch threaded section attached to the frond end of the inner cables, and there's no way you can get that to pull through the outers!
