Me too! Waiting on Control Cables to contact me and confirm my e-brake cable order............and if GW would ease off on the power-texting with his maxi-iPad I might be able to get the brakes bled. :lol:

True!

Brake system is fully bled and pressure checked for leaks by holding hard pressure on the pedal for 15 seconds. I had a leak at the residual valve and one hard line to flex line junction quick re-torque was all it took.

I'm waiting on the e-brake cables from Control Cables and we'll be back in business. They contacted me this morning after receiving my info and said they should have the cables shipping by Tuesday at the latest. I have to thank Brent (Ricochet) for recommending them.

I found that there really wasn't what I felt was a clean and simple cable setup for the Wilwood e-brake setup that worked with the existing foot pedal and tensioning cable. Control Cable basically supply new cables from the e-brake to chassis mount very similar to the OEM cables made to your specs at what I felt was a very fair price.

Here's the drawing and picture of my cable routing mock up I submitted to them:

:popcorn2: I haven't hooked up my parking brakes so this is going to be put on my to do list.

Doesn't matter if you hook them up or not - they don't work worth a damn. It might make you feel good to have them hooked up... but I've never gotten them to function well even as a parking brake let alone an E brake.

My "parking brake" will hold my car on a pretty good slope. I used the Lokar cable setup and had to build a bracket coming off of my trans cross member to put the forward half of the cables in the sweet spot. It has to be pretty stout as there is a lot of pressure on those cables when tight. The first one I built folded up like a cheap tent...

Nice work Sieg...

We shall see.......I knew they didn't have the best of reputations and bat-turns were not in my future. :(

Hopefully using the factory mounting points and Control Cables which replicate the factory cables the system will be relatively flex/stretch free and the only limitation will be the minescule Wilwood baby drums.

Thanks Lance.

......and another picture just because I thought it was pretty cool for a phone camera.
