Need help with Baer e-brake hookup.
If there's anyone out there who's done a Baer rear disk swap and used their e-brake, I'd appreciate your help. For the cost of their kits, their directions are absolutely terrible (on top of an 18 week wait, no less). The directions for the rear don't even mention the e-brake at all, even though new cables were included with the kit.
I mounted the caliper brackets where they suggested (drivers side in front, passenger in rear, both just below axle centerline), but these positions clearly don't take their e-brake assembly into consideration. The assembly won't even clear the shock on the passenger side. And it's so large that it sticks out past the frame, and thus must be mounted somewhere below the bumpstop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just installed Baer brakes on a 2nd gen camaro this weekend. My drivers side cable was fairly long, so from the caliber I looped the cable around the back of the rear, then forward thur the original emer. brake cable location which is thur the frame. My instructions simple said "Install emer. brake cable in factory location." I also had to slightly "reshape" the driver's side (caliber in front) inner wheel well for the caliber to clear.
Hope this helps
