[doitbby]

Id like to convert an emergency foot brake to a hand operated e brake.Does anyone know how to do this? Or any pictures of some cool ebrake setups?

what make car? You can use a lokar kit....or a 4th generation Camaro arm and make a bracket to connect to the "y" cable.

find a donor car that has an e brake that you like.. install it in your car.. then figure out how to get it to operate your stock e brakes..

I converted on my 86 Monte Carlo, I think this may be the only Monte around with a hand brake :)
I originally tried the Lokar kit (still have it in a box somewhere) but I did not like the way it needed to mount with the cables under the floorpan. I ended going with the 4th Gen camaro setup using a Lokar cable kit with corvette caliper ends to go with the Baer calipers. Works extremely well.
