My LS1 e-brake setup

Slick setup!

Nick, yes I did. I have receive several e-mails on how I got the left side caliber brackett to pull from the rear when its placed on the right side of the axle. Here are a few pictures on how I did it.

If you look in the following picture you'll see a L & R backing plate. Just above them are the adjustment barrell retaining clips and an adjustment barrell.




On the Left backing plate I ground down the left ear of backing plate e-brake to accept the adjustment clip:



Here is a closup of the area I ground down to accept the clip:

This is a picture of the left and right adjustment retaining clip:


By flipping the lever and reversing the pins from back to front the lever will now engage the e-brake properly. Don't forget to put grease in the barrell that holds the pin and lever.


Hope this helps.

So, you actually had to have two lefts and one right in order to make this work?

Well, like I said before I got the brakes off of an 02 trans am axle, so I started with a left and right bracket. I needed another left hand bracket because there is clearance issues with the shock on the passenger side. Driver side shock is on the rear of the axle and passenger side shock is on the front of the axle. A left and right caliper bracket mount the calipers to the front on 4th gen f-bodies, so I purchased another left hand bracket from a junk yard for $25.00. This placed the caliper on the rear of the axle on the passenger side when you mount it. If you don't have the brake adjustment barrell clip you can get them from the dealership. I think they are less than $10.00. The actual lever will work both ways.

The clip is what I was referring too, thanks. I have the brakes installed, just have not done the cables yet. I had planned on running them from both directions using a Lokar cable, but this might be a better looking setup.
