      wilwood parking brake and cable issues

      Hello everyone, i believe this is my first post here on this site, and ive got a question about Wilwood 12.19" rear brakes with built in parking brake. I had purchased a dana 60 from strange with these brakes already installed on the axle, and i am having a bit of trouble connecting the parking brake "arm" to the parking brake cable. heres a picture of the "arm" i am having trouble connecting the cable to

      does anyone have a picture of the crimped end on the cable that fits into that slot so that it doesnt slip off of it, or the modified cable to make it work. Heres a link to the project if anyones interested http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2909978 - Thanks!

      Lokar has a kit for this...It's the one for the Ford Explorer. The instructions in the box also list being specific to the internal parking brake Wilwood system. I just installed mine this. I only need to get a nylock nut for the adjustment clevis and mine's done. Now that I've got the parking brake working, I don't see why everyone complains about Wilwood's internal parking brake system not working well. Mine works very well. I was able to torque the lug nuts on the wheels with the brake engaged.
