Handbrake cable touching the exhaust

Post by tomkidd »

How do folks,

We fitted the exhaust to the mini yesterday (2" system) and the junction where the front of the handbrake cable meets the rear part is touching the top of the exhaust... I'm not too bothered, other than the rattle or noise it might cause.

Any suggestions as to what to do? I have turned the bracket over but it is no better...?
