ended up getting the wrong cable (yoke and no adjusters) , so back it went , got right one this time

new cable has the correct end and adjuster

Image

here we go, hub fitted

Image

caliper fitted

Image
Image

line fitted , i ordered the custom made one but it looks like if you have a lowered car the originql one may reach from the car to the caliper

looking good

if that braided line has a fair amount of slack, but as you say because its lowered, leave it on mate, mine failed the MOT due to when the car being raised on jacks the lines got to tight on the rear, and if it ever has its standard suspension put back on your gonna have issues
