If it is the wheel type one you should see a cable coming out of the front driver's side backing plate but I don't think they still did that in '85. I am working from memory but I think the cable housing attaches on the driver side just above the pan about midway. If you do have the type that required the cable to the wheel you would have to find that whole assembly from a donor car. It would require the spindle with the hole in it and I don't know if the older style would fit on your '85 Delta or not. I bet it could be done but would probably not be easy. Don't forget the bearing dust cap with the cable termination on the inside of it, it sort of looks like a little nut with a square hole in the center that is brazed on the inside of the cap.
