Hey guys, Can someone post up a pic of the the inside of a disc brake rear end,showing where the handbrake cable attaches to the brake housing. Cheers boys.

I'm a bit confused - do you mean where the cable attaches to the handbrake mechanism? Or where the cable is secured? The end of the cable hooks over the handbrake mechanism actuator lever, at the bottom (closest to the ground). The cable isn't secured to the diff or braking component at all, bit actually passes between the lower tailing arm forward mounting bolt and body, and then tucks under a little tag os steel welded to the arm further down (or closer to the rear of the car). Make sense?

There is a spring there as far as I remember, think it hooks onto one of the holes on the backing plate near the caliper.
