Build 64. Handbrake Cable

Now the brakes were bled, I attached the handbrake cable to the rear calipers and secured with cable ties. For this part I set the handbrake so I could pull the lever as vertical as it could go in order to put the tunnel top on later, but this also applied the max handbrake force so I could get the remaining bubbles out of the system when giving the brakes a re-bleed.

I think the pictures say more than words here but basically slacken off the adjuster (which is the black large plastic screw near the diff), and then you can pull the cable and hook it over where it needs to be easily. Note the routing of the cable so it doesn't foul on the drive shafts,
