Hi Listers,
        I  am trying to replace the hand brake on our 1970 TR6, the 
old one failed when the action rod pushed through the rubber "button" 
and locked the  brakes ON ... I had to remove the pivot bolt to get 
them free.  It was then I discovered the old hand brake was from a 
TR4. I found a "correct" TR6 hand brake from a donor car (original) 
and  all went well until I tried to reattach the brake cables ... 
there is simply not enough slack  to  do  that ... and the  cable 
must turn 90 deg to enter the Y connector.  I released one of the 
cables from the rear drum attachment point but still could not get it 
to  work.
        Any help is  clearly appreciated ...
