    Had a problem with drivers side handbrake sticking when left on after a few days standing, got it sorted by cleaning etc. got replacement springs (Granada) changed drivers side ok however passenger side looks nothing like drivers side at all, see pics, has calliper been changed to mk3? Or am I missing something ( hayes manual implies same both sides which I would expect)

    That’s mk3, internal spring rather than external

    Does this mean a different handbrake cable on that side ie a mk3? Or are they all the same length

    I dont think I changed mine when I put new calipers on. Mk3's are better than Mk2's as they tend to seize less (but not impossible for them to seize).
