best way is to get the axle from the car the calipers are coming off, the mtec kit comes with guides for the cables that chris astley doesnt give you so ones it all on its a case of tightening the cable and its job done, if you get the axle you can remove the guides from it and fit them to your axle and save yourself some time, or go on lmf vauxhall and buy the mtec kit which is what i used

if it is a mtec kit then what you need is a mk2 astra gte 16v handbrake cable, model with disc'd red axle
