MK1 road car brakes

Is there any reference material that shows details and part numbers of the solid disc MK1 brakes front and rear. I am also looking for detail on the operation of the parking brake and how it operates on the rear brakes and the route of the cable.

Thanks
David

MK1 has an under-dash handbrake lever, which pulls the brake pedal down. You'd never pass any sort of inspection with that set-up in a road car.

Thanks, that explains why I saw nothing going to the back of any picture. I failed to ask when I viewed 1062.

Hi - here's a photo of "XGT-2" being restored:-

You can just make out the tab on the back of the brake pedal (between the bias-bar clevises) where the handbrake cable would have attached to pull the brakes on.
