right.
there is a lack of help regarding handbrake cables for a 31 diff into 1200.
.
the diff used : Shortended R31 Silhoutte LSD.
(ignore my lack of bumpstops atm , place who shortened the diff are idiots. didnt do hb cables or bumpstops. also conveniently placed brake lines where bump stops should be haha)


okay

WHAT YOU NEED :
- Standard R31 Handbrake cables (just the left and right cables , dont need splitter)
- Diff already in the car.
- $200 for Handbrake cables to be made and steel cost
- Few Hours time
- Masking tape
- Decent Mig Welder
- Cordless Drill/Pedestool Drill/Drill Bits.
- Tie wire/mig wire/string (used for measuring)


Step 1.
- Im assuming the rear brakes are all connected and you still have the standard handbrake cables. Connect it all up and push the cables to sit ontop of the leaf springs. prevents them from sagging.
Cable tie the cable to the leaf to hold it there.
cable tie it to the housing also.

you will realise one cable needs to be shortened. one has to be made longer

Using my template as a rough guide. Make the piece you will be welding to the diff.
i forget the hole size but it will vary on cables.
- Tack the piece to the diff inline with the front section of your existing handbrake.
cable

now tape the wire/string to your cables and run the string/wire to the plate on the diff.
Mark where you want the cable place to add the cable stop.
now make a second mark about 50mm before your existing handbrakes threaded swage end.

now that you have all your measurements. take them down to a handbrake cable/clutch and brake place for them to make you new cables.
NOTE: make sure you get threaded ends put on. or this guide is useless.
(took one day , cost $190 . i thought this was reasonable)
while your cables are being made. get started on the splitter box.
(shouldnt need explaining as there is photos)
but yeh 4 sides, pretty much a triangle shape, which is going to allow you to bolt it to your existing handbrake cable end. and have 2 holes for your new cable ends.
very simple.
After everything arrives. put it together and enjoy having a handbrake that doesnt slap on your tailshaft.

PICS : cables are cut and finished in this picture.

Thanks mate that looks like exactly the info I need to finish my rear disc setup ( one day)

good wright up there. Do you have the calipers on the rear or front of the housing though? When diff gets shortened its wise to Also turn the housing around so the calipers are on the front. My two cents. Good job there looks like a brought one :)
