Posts: 110 Thanks: 9 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | ![]() Hiys mate, I have recently done a largish resto on a 2001 (!) siecento, and thought i would throw in my lot for the Handbrake Job ~ the arms that it connects onto are like a right angle elbow on a basic~pivot... They may be siezed and look like needing replaced.. Don't be decieved, they are not cheap to buy new, but with a file, some oil, and 20 mins of patience they will be as serviceable as new... Even if they aint too bad, deffo get 'em out and make sure they work Freely... Since you too are mechanically practiced i shan't bore you with stuff about SAFETY and wirebrushing n WD40 the day Before ! Paul ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
