Escort rear axle

Post by richy246 »

What do I need to do to an escort rear axle to fit it to the Minor especially the handbrake arragement?

I found that the minor handbrake (was a lowlight one) lever did not have sufficient movement to operate the ford mechanism (Capri 3 litre), so I used the ford lever, and then shortened the cable, and rejoined it to suit.
