I am having C5 rear's installed on my 10 bolt and the installer says I'll need Lokar parking brake cables and clevite connectors for the C5 parking brake. Anyone have a setup like this? What part numbers did you use?

We typically use the EC-80FUTB universal cable kit and EC-80CC clevises with the KORE3 kits. The "TB" cables have a longer threaded stud at the end of the housing and works better with parking brake cable anchor brackets that are 3/16" or thicker, otherwise there may not be enough thread to fully engage the locknut. Similarly, others have used the Lokar kit for the Explorer which includes clevises for less money, however they don't fit as nicely as the EC-80CC Corvette clevises IMO.

Thanks Tobin, I'll take your advice and spend the extra cash and get the setup that fits better! Thanks again!

I have pictures on page 4 of my build thread. I just did this conversion a few months ago.
