OK guys, In the end I decided to put rear discs on the V6 red corsa as I had them anyway and if I wanted drums I would have to buy a new set so this way it's a little cheaper.

Anyway, There are no springs or hooks on the calipers for a handbrake cable to clip on to. I'm not sure from which car the calipers came from. Would anyone have any idea as to where a handbrake cable should clonk onto?

And I've also heard its a Nova short cable and a astra long cable or something? Can someone confirm which cables I need?

Google doesn't provide much info on this on :L

Thanks

iby, put disc on the back of mine!, Calibra, there should be an arm comes through the back plate, this is what the cable goes over.
the spring then goes through a hole in the end of that, pull towards the back of car and it goes through a hole in
the back plate, just above the caliper.

honestly, I can't visualize it unfortunately. You wouldn't have any pics would you?

I couldn't see anything on the calliper itself where I can suspect the cable goes through.

I'll double check again and take some pics in the mean time to upload here.

Thanks for your help. I just don't want to fit it all in and then find out it can't be done lol.
