It's still sitting on the Laundry bench! Wife loves it. Lol.
The handbrake lines will go under diff. You may be right about the braided lines hitting stuff but worst case I can just trim the solid lines to get it all sorted.
Won't really know until it's been installed.
I have the handbrake lines all sorted apart from getting a cable made to go from the handbrake it self to the main cables.
Here's a couple of pics of the handbrake setup I'll be using. It's off the R31 but I just need to get the escort one mated to it.
Cheers
Matt
