Hi everyone I have brought a corsa b project with the rear disc conversion but didn't have the hand brake cables with it and was wondering if anyone had any info on what cables are needed to get the brake working the brakes are caliper and drum set up

You will need a cable from an early 20xe astra gte, part no, GM 90279542. Not cheep though, i couldnt find a none gen part anywhere so modified a mk3 cav disc brake cable by shortening it over the axle. still got the gen cable in its bag, must fit it one day!

they look the same, only the vectra brakes have the hand brake at the bottom. i was going to do a 5 stud swap on mine as i have a set of brakes and front hubs from my vectra ive scrapped recently to get 2.2 engine for my corsa C.
