As the man said, not difficult (crude from screen grab):

Ok a bit of a confession; if I'm honest I've made a bit of a faux pas in an effort to keep the weight down A culmination of slightly the wrong grade of aluminium and a slightly too thin gauge means there’s a tad too much flex for my likening in the floor on the passenger’s side I could just drill it off, remake it again and refit which would be a PITA or go for option 2 which is to fit a stiffening brace. You guessed right.... I went for the easy option So it was out with the trusty metal folder, and I set to work A bit of drilling and with a few extra holes added for lightness all finished and riveted into position Ultimately it will be hidden under the front of the passenger seat so you wont even see it.

It's funny how the jobs which should be quick and easy seem to take the longest. Fitting the handbrake cable should have been simple but it's never that easy. For whatever reason my car runs only a single cable rather than the more conventional twin cables. After much searching and unfortunately little sucess after asking on the Boardroom I found it was a MK2 Escort (BC978) part that had been shorterned. I forgot to take any pictures of how I shorterned it but basically I cut of the end ferrule from the clevis, measured the new cable against the old damaged one and cut the cable about 20mm longer than needed. I then slipped a steel nut over the the cable and splayed out the strands to stop it slipping back over then fused the splayed strands to the nut with a small weld. Feeling pleased with my handywork it was trial fitted to the car, but then problems 2 and 3 occured. Firstly the head of the bolt through the clevis would catch on the vertical tunnel tube when pulling the handbrake on (you can see in the picture below how close it is) and then when taking the brake off again the clevis would occasionally catch on the bracket that the lever bolts too. Both were relatively easily fixed in the bench grinder. FIrstly the head of the clevis bolt was thinned down to about 3mm thick so it had plently of clearance to the chassis, and then a radii was made on the end of the clevis so that it could slide past the bracket rather than catching it. Close up of the the offending clevis And zoomed out All fitted and working
