After verifying this dimension, any slack in the rear cable may be adjusted out at the left hand outer cable
abutment, which is integral with the pivot bracket for the front leg of the lower wishbone. If fitted, the diffuser/
undertray must be removed for access. After adjustment, re-check the caliper lever 'off' dimension.

The parking brake lever is sandwiched into a mounting bracket by two flat head bolts securing the ratchet
plate. The mounting bracket (in conjunction with the gearchange lever bracket) is not drive handed, but is
offset, via alternative fixing holes in the chassis,
towards the passenger side.
The ratchet pawl operates a
micro switch to light the 'brakes' tell tale lamp in the instrument panel whenever the ignition is switched on and
the parking brake is applied. The short front cable is secured to both the lever assembly and the compensator
horseshoe by clevis pins with retaining 'FT pins.
