Hey all.

Got almost everything sussed to chuck this tarago diff into the Corona, just need to sort out handbrake cables.

Had a look at some RA65 IRS F series drum handbrake cables today and they seem to have much smaller drums and are different where they connect into the back of the drum, i.e they dont bolt in like the YR22 Tarago ones do so dont think they are going to work. Hmmm.

I might go back and grab the hbrake cables from the YR22 Tarago i got the diff from and see if i can adapt them somehow but i dont like my chances. From memory the tarago cables ran in a weird way around the motor and they werent the same length as each other.

What has everyone used when putting F Drum diffs in AE86's etc?

Any help would be appreeshed. Much love.

i got a cutting disc on a little grinder and cut the mounts out of the s series drums and welded them into the F series drums.
used the standard sprinter handbrake cables.
worked very well.
