Hi All,
The handbrake cable on my 1950 DB18 DHC has snapped. I've bought a new one and have just had a quick look under the car to see where it connects, but didn't see much.
I also had a look at the attached diagram from David Beale's the DB18 Workshop Manual, which gives me a better idea at what's what.
I was wondering, before I jack the car up and get underneath, if anyone has a better diagram or guide to help me in this job. In particular whether there are any gotchas to look out for.
Thanks in advance
Tony

Tony, if memory serves you don’t need to climb under the car. If you remove the floor panel all will be revealed.

I happen to have the floor out of my sports special, which I guess is similar to yours. I can confirm that you can not get the the cable that way, it bust be from below the car.
Hope that this is useful.
