E-Brake handle mount question
I have the lokar style handle, I will be mounting to the inner frame rail on the passenger side of the tunnel
Basically all it has are the 2 horizontal bolts at 3 inches apart with 1 inch standoffs. Looks like a bracket of sorts will need to be made. Similar to what Enzo sells as well. Anyone have any pics of their install . I do not have the tunnel top mount , it will be side mount or frame mount. Looking at the cable, a generic style cable, I would imagine you have to fashion a bracket that holds the outer sheath stationary while the handle acts to pull or release the inner cable itself. Just trying to piece together some kind of mount and bracket here.. Also I have a single cable. Is that adequate for my needs? I guess I just route it back to clamp one wheel. Last question, I remember some discussion on the blleding of the main brake sysyem before trying to set up a clamping dtyle e-brake, whats the story on this?.. Thanks Tim |
Make your own bracket out of mild steel to bolt the lever to. The lever only has one cable, but that will need to pull on a " T " bracket to which two cables are attached, one per rear wheel. (Unless you have a pinion mounted e-brake) At the " T " bracket, there will need to be another bracket welded to the frame to hold the cable sheaths for the cables which will run out to the calipers. Depending on what type of rear end and brake calipers (or drums) the cable mounting at the wheels will be factory supplied hopefully, as long as you use the correct style of cable assembly.

Hi Mr Fixit
Thanks for the response...yes alot of fab to do or else some more purchasing.... I was at lokar's website and they have an excellent pic of what we are talking about http://www.lokar.com/ebrakes.html Tim |
Not alot of fabricating, just three lousy brackets. Just enough to make it fun. And custom cables too.
