Car Forum / MINI / January 2006Mk1 Mini Handbrake.
Hi all Do the quadrants on the Mk 1 Handbrake pivot with the cable or does the cable slide around them. This is the Mk1 Hydro system with the fixed to the shaft quadrants Cheers Pete H I thought all mini quadrants pivoted, and the two guides on the rear subframe where the only ones the cable slid through Fitzy > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Cheers > Pete H My memory of the quadrants, (may be different on the earlier ones) is there is a 'bullet' crimped onto the cable that locates in the cut-out in the quadrant and the ends of the quadrant are only slightly crimped at each end to prevent the cable from falling of it when slack. The pivot regularly siezes with rust/road grime and needs to be worked loose with WD40 or similar. > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Cheers > Pete H > My memory of the quadrants, (may be different on the earlier ones) is > there [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > siezes with rust/road grime and needs to be worked loose with WD40 or > similar. I think all mini hand brake cables had barrel shaped locator, but the crimping was close to the barrel, (either side of) rather than at both ends of the quadrant, Fitzy |
