Default handbrake mount relocation

G'day All.
I assume this has been discussed many times, but does anyone have the exact details of where to relocate the handbrake mount to on the trailing arm in order to allow for wider tyres to be fitted?

Looking to cut them off and re-locate, then paint. they are already removed so not really in a position to trial fit in-situ. Need to do this right the first time.

Car is a 77 C3.

Thanks in Advance.

Best way is to use the cable, since yours is disconnected, a little harder
The bracket ends up just slightly forward of the front of the bracket for the brakeline



From someone else's post




If you haven't cut the tabs off yet, take the cable off the car, put it on the arm the way is should be and mark the cable distance sticking out, remove the tabs and keep them on the cable with the distance set and angle tack them up on the top
