Can anyone recommend an e-brake cable to use with Baer IronSport brakes? I just swapped a Ford 9" into my camaro and used the IronSport disc brakes. The instructions are pretty vague about how to select an e-brake cable.


The IronSport caliper uses a ball end cable, cables can be purchased from Lokar (General fit cable), or Control Cables.

Does anyone have an suggestions?

Lokar. They have a kit you cut to length. You will also need the Corvette clevis kit.

Thanks for the links!

I checked with Lokar, and they recommended the EC-81FU. I've got one on order, and I'll let everyone know how it works.

Did you order the clevismkit too? You’re going to need it....

No. What's the clevis kit for?

EDIT: Just to clarify, the clevis is usually used at the e-brake actuator, correct? the IronSport calipers use a ball-end cable to actuate the e-brake. Here's a pic showing the e-brake actuator on the caliper.

Never mind that looks like some kind of Cadillac caliper knockoff which is quite different from the other Baer rear disc brakes that use a drum style parking brake. My mistake.

The Ironsport calipers are late-model Mustang calipers.

You are correct. SN95 I believe. We'll see how they do.

Just sort of fyi, my lokar kit came with a couple clevises, might be worth verifying the kit contents before ordering extra stuff (not that you need to, but other people reading this might).

Damn. I have purchased several Lokar cables and they have never included clevis parts. Must be buying a different kit.
