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

You will require this sort of kit

and some handbrake cables, which are Minor -Ford available off the shelf, if you get my drift. :wink: :D

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.
