From looking at this picture it looks like you need to drill a hole in the spring plate and also grind a small amount from the actual horse-shoe.

Q: How much play/slack is there in the handbrake cable? Could a large movement by the spring plate cause the cable to snap/fail?

 

[bugfez]

surely there's no movement between the hub and spring plate :?:

The horseshoes are great

They made lowering the back of Gary's bus sooooooo much easier.

They fit really well and the only mod I had to do was to drill the hole in the springplate.

I started off drilling with a small pilot hole and got slightly larger each time until I ended up with an 18mm hole to clear the cable.

Brake pipe wise all you have to do is kink it upwards

There is no movement and the handbrake operates exactly as it would in the hubs normal location.

The cutout for the cable is already in the horseshoe.

Keep your eyes peeled as Dubz-by-Dan may be doing our own version of these for the uk market
