    Default Vb Wagon Disc Rear-will And Vn/s Cable Fit?

    Hey all. Converted a sedan disc rear to fit the VB wagon. Will a VN cable (poss. sedan?)fit as a wagon disc hand brake cables going to be hard to find???
    Spose I should ask if a sedan VB/L cable will fit, or is it too short?

    Just get any VB-VL disc rear hand brake cable. The ones in the VN are to long for a VB-VL

    Yep, my gold SLE has a wagon diff in it, using a sedan handbrake cable, fits no worries.

    Only reason I ask is coz the wagons' wheelbase is longer, not the wagon bracketry for the cables.
    So did you cut the wagon shocker brackets off and weld the sedan ones on? Damn- we could have just swapped diffs and avoided the hf's. :lol:

    Nope, the sedan shock points and sway bars points was welded on before I brought it. All of the wagon stuff is still on it infact!

    Far out. This is what I had to do to mine....
    So the wagon brackets are still there on yours? I couldn't do that to mine coz the sedan brakets are in the way. I spose the wagon brackets pretty flat, so you can weld the sedan bracket straight on top???
