3000M hand brake
Discussion
Whilst under the car fitting the new electric fuel pump, I noticed the handbrake mechanism is positioned on the off side with two cables running to the back two wheels. (obvious really) The cables are in the guides but the cable to the off side wheel is catching the prop shaft. Is there something missing off the mechanism that should move the cable across away from the prop shaft or is it too high and should pass underneath?
Maybe it was just because the car was jacked up on the off side rear wheel?
Any thoughts?

Chassis number of the car would be a good start, anything past 3919 should be the Salisbury. The other way is to look underneath, a TR6 diff is suspended only from the top, the Salisbury has two additional stabilisng bars attaching it to lower chassis rails.
Weighing them is a good alternative (when they are out of the car) as the Salisbury is about twice as heavy as a TR6 diff!!!! As the diff carriers are different the handbrake is routed slightly different ways.

What kind of electric fuel pump ? Mine is allegedly off a Stag (the original mechanical one died last Spring), it makes a funny clicking/bashing sound when I turn on the ignition and periodically while driving, works fine though so any ideas ?
In that case 99.99% likely to be a Salisbury, I routed my cables as follows (fortunately I'd scanned these previously as my scanner has gone t*t* up!):-
and for anyone following this thread who has a TR6 diff, mine was originally like this:-
(excuse my foot and the rotting chassis!!!)
Hope that helps

NCT2's were good but quite hard took years to wear them down and only when we put my Wheels on Ian Bannisters Turbo 3000M car for a joint trackday did we really get them warm (and start having serious tread degradation!!). They were wtill in a useable condition after almost 10 years and were sold with the car. Though for the last few years I used Bridgestone SO2 Pole Positions on 15" rims...much better

I remember them as being quite soft and bought quite a few, lol. I think the 10 years and age hardening may have a lot to do with it. Thye were a great replacement for the original NCT on my 350i but I then made the mistake of thinking that the new NCT3 would be the best ever. Thankfully the S02PP came along not too much later and these were great - they should have been the NCT3!
