Default Another Alternative Installation Idea

Thought I would add to this thread since some good ideas were shared. Here is what I came up with for installation in a 2nd gen Firebird. Some where between not having enough room and enough cable was this idea. Works great and looks great. Tucked out of sight.

I bought this kit it has everything including that bracket that estopp sells separately all within the box. It's a nice self contained unit. I'm mounting mine right under the package tray (in the trunk floor) in my 69 Camaro. It's basically the same unit Speedway sells but way cheaper

The inner cable from the E stopp is threaded directly to the block on the left side as is the inner cable from left side park brake. The blocks look like this, I think I had to retap the blocks to match the threads on the Estopp cable and housing.



The outer housings that route to the park brake are mount to a piece of 1" box tubing with a tab on each end. All of the load is contained within that bracket and there is no load at all on the mounts of either the Estopp or the bracket holding the cables.

Why do it this way? When the Estopp is engaged, it tries to pull the inner cable into the outer housing.....pulling the left and right park brake cables closer together. Because it floats, it self equalizes, ensuring that the pulling force is equal between both sides.
Donny, I like your install on the E-Stopp below the package tray. My question is, did you come straight down to the the cable attatchment behind your backing plate? Or is there another lower bracket for the cable in front of the rear axle? Thanks

After going through the trunk floor the cable is routed right to the cable mount on the axle housing.....I may have tied it off to the lower link of the rear suspension, I do not recall.

Worth noting, the eStopp comes with a much shorter cable now and will not allow for the exact setup shown in the picture. The concept would still work, but you will not be able to make the 180* bend with the eStopp cable.

I saw a post from John Parsons where he only uses one cable to one wheel. A simple solution....

It was on pro-touring. I don't think there was a pic. Just route the EStopp to one wheel with one cable. It eliminates the need to divide into two cables.
