LHD Handbrake Cable Routing

[RoddyMac17]

I'm nearly ready to put the body back on the chassis, but want to get as much done to the chassis and body before they're made one again. I think I've sorted most things, but the handbrake cable routing is puzzling to me. Does the cable still go through the RH engine mount bracket if the car is LHD? But if it does go through the LH mounting, where does it cross over to get to the rear of the chassis?

The car came in boxes, so I have no reference photo's of it being dismantled.

Thanks

In a LHD car the handbrake cable goes through the LH engine mount bracket. The end of the sheath and adjustment thread mount on the bracket.

The free cable then goes into a small hole in the front of chassis tunnel, on the left. There is a matching hole, unused, on the right (for RHD cars). It doesn't go through the big hole used by the prop shaft.

The cable then runs along and across the inside of the chassis tunnel, under the prop shaft, emerging on the right hand side, through another small hole, by the diff, in front of the handbrake tree.

It'll be obvious as soon as you see it.

Nick,
Thanks for the reply, I will shift the cable over to the LH engine mount.

I think this picture of my new chassis shows it well:
