Capri Axle Handbrake......

maybe a long shot, but does anyone have a photo of how a capri axle handbrake cable/rods should look ??

the one on my car has been modified (bodged), and i don;t think the IVA man will be happy with it

cheers

Might to have been bodged early Capri axles had a completely different arrangement similar to the MK2 Cortina , no outer cable or rod, a cable ran from wheel to wheel through a couple of guides then forward to a yoke from where a single cable went to the handbrake lever.
