hi fellas ive got 1200 sedan with an r31 diff im trying to find any info
on setting up a hand break on it

thanks greg

Pics of what you've got ?
It should have the handbrake built into the calipers

yeah the cables are an issue. not much written up about it really. if some one has done it, put it up here with pics.

I'll post some pics of mine tomorrow. I used the r31 handle and had the cables re made to suit my setup. They needed to use some of the original fittings. Hot rocket helped orginise the cables to be modified but I had to get them re done to fit better. Anyway it'll make more sense when I can post pics.

thanks some photos will be good i think the calipers have the cable come of them but im not sure
i have just bought the car and fixing a few things

It looks like that link Levey added should sort you out but here are a few pics of my setup. They had to use the original crimp on portion of the end of the orginal r31 cable were it connects to the caliper. I had adjustable end put on the other end of the new cables to allow for any miscalculation plus a bit of adjustment. I also used the R31 hand break mechanism as it suited my setup better. I just had the bleck section shortened and had a threaded end put on it.
