CSX4000 ebrake connection?
Help..... 
Anyone have a picture to show how the CSX4000/8000 cars using Baer/PBR calipers ebrake connection is set up? A picture of the installed cable to caliper at the brake end would be priceless....
Thanks
Jeff |

So does the rear of the cable just simply slip over the hook and the adjustment holds it in place?
My end is a clevice type end which I can pin and use like a hook?
Also my cable is a steel line that possibly needs a fitting to allow it to resist going back through the hole on the caliper that was used to feed the whole line through.
Will post pics tonight....

If after you get the ebrake all set up it feels like it *might* hold the car well in a parking lot.....then you've got it factory correct.  
In truth, the ebrake's don't work very well in the CSX cars and are not easy to adjust successfully.

Here is what I have
So there must be a fitting to prevent the end of the cable from going back through the caliper bracket?
Maybe set a simple pin in the end of the cable to make the connection....

See Mickmate (Nick) for advice. DC Doug is right as well....Don't count on having a "hill holder" type of E-Brake, IMHO.

Hey Jeff, it looks like you might have a little too much cable. The ferrule goes through the bracket and is held in place by a circlip. A pin through your clevis should be enough. We may need to do something with the cable length, check here for some ends you could use.

I have a bag of cable seals, I'll bet we could figure a way to crimp them on the ends. |
