Hand brake install on gen1 firebird camaro nova
Just curious if anybody has install pics of how they did their hand brake conversion and what they used parts wise for the install.
I am thinking about buying a Lokar hand brake but I've heard just as much good as I have bad about their product. Fyi i am using Wilwood Aero6 up front & Aero 4 in the rear |
thats the same set up I used and the ford explorer e brake cable kits works with your setup,I liked the Lokar products

My 67 camaro had one installed when I bought it (abandoned project, no drivetrain), but when it came time to install the driveshaft and the car set at ride height, no way it would work. The linkage on the lokar brake hung down into the tunnel. It was not even close to clearing the driveshaft- like several several inches too low. So I removed it. I'm sure there are other options. Just something to thing about/work around.

I made one for my 63 Nova. The lever is from an older BMW and the cables are from helmar, very good selection and low prices. I bought long cables because I wasn't sure of the length, ended up cutting them and crimped a new stop on at the brake end. Just 2 piston Willwoods, works real good. The console goes all the way to the back seat. Don't really have any pics from underneath?
