Hey Tom,

I'm in the process of trying to get my Wilwood parking brake cable hooked up as well. Have you got a picture from the opposite direction?

I assume you're using the stock parking brake pedal setup - I'd like to see how you hooked that up to the cable block since the threads are different pitch. Also, how the spring is hooked up on the far end.



Thanks

Yes, I am using the stock e-brake setup...there is no pedal on a 1st/2nd gen. Nova. There is a handle under the dash that you pull out. The cable has a lead ball on the other end that hooks into a socket on the arm...The spring you see in the picture is the return spring for the cable...

What I did was drilled the threads out of the Wilwood brass block. I put a nut on both sides, so the block can slide along the length of the stock adjustment rod.....

Doh! I shoulda thought of that. I appreciate all the pix and tips.

Hey Tom....Thanks again for taking some time to chat about your Nova. Just curious...will you be using the engine cover on your LSA? ...... would it fit in there??

Awesome build...can't wait to start on my 67/LSA build.

Love the Nova build, such a super clean car to start with.

The seats, just curious, did they happen to come from Idaho?

They look familiar!

Great talking to you as well, give me a shout anytime...

Out of curiosity do you know what year Trans Am those seats came out of? Also are they stock covers black or grey?

Nice job. I love early Nova's! It should be fun to drive!
