im trying to fit the rear beam axle purchased from huddersfield spares but am having problems with the hand brake quadrants, ive cut the knuckle of to allow the radius arm to travel but there isnt enough clearance for the handbrake quadrant as it hits the brace bar on the bottom of the axle

has anybody else fitted one and had this problem?

I have trialled fitted the one on our project ate ork and all seems to line up ok with no clearance problems. It was e second hand though so could possibly have been modified but doesn't look like it has been.

mines still standard, i brought it many years ago and used it on my autograss car which had home made back arms (1" box section) so never hand a hand brake fitted but now trying to fit it to my 1975 1275gt project but it wont clear, its so frustrating after all the work ive done so far
