Which E-brake cable kit do I need? - Lateral-g Forums

Che70velle · #1 05-04-2014, 08:26 PM

I have a wilwood kit on the rear of my Chevelle with internal parking brake set up on both sides. I am trying to buy cables, but I can't seem to find my application. Can somebody steer me in the right direction...

70 Chevelle
Parking brake in stock location
Wilwood rear disk set up, with internal drum parking brake, on both sides of rear end.
It is a 12 bolt GM rear end.

Thanks guys!

Wilwoods cable kit is "universal". They only have a couple different part numbers or "kits". The one for their internal e-brake is 330-9371. I got mine from Jegs.

If you are looking for something that is a direct bolt-on to your e-brake pedal in the car, this ain't it. (not sure anyone makes such?) These look like they are intended for a between the seats e-brake handle... but I was able to easily adapt mine to work with the factory pedal.

A tip on install,
The cable housing end where it mounts to the backing plate is aluminum. The nut that secures it is aluminum and has a thick nylok washer made into it. On one of mine, apparently the nylok was a little too thick or stiff. When I threaded the nut on, it stopped at the nylok and stripped all the threads off the housing... dead in the water for a week while they replaced the housing.

EDIT** It does look like you might be able to put something together from Lokar using several of their kits that would get you all the way to the pedal...

Thanks Jeff, I'll check that part number out. Definitely not expecting to find a bolt on kit, (is anything really bolt on, anymore?) just want to find the correct cables. I can get it to my pedal, as I have all my stock cables. Thanks for the heads up!

Not saying this is the right way or the best way, but here is how I connected the new with the old....

Made a bracket on the underside of the body to bolt the cables to as they come forward. Made a "connector" to marry the old e-brake cable to the Wilwood 2 into 1 adjuster. It's tight against the underside of the body but easily accessible for adjustments. works great.

Thanks for posting the pic. That's pretty much what I had in mind. Ordered cables today!

Your could also use the stock setup and custom rear cables. Inline Tube will build anything you spec (but it's not a kit, you have to measure).

Here's another option for custom OE style cables: http://www.controlcables.com/
