      My rear Wilwoods ...

      ... have a parking brake. I did need to add some Lokar cables and lever to get it all working.

      RE:Park Brake

      Well if your Wilwood set up did not come with the backing plate and internal to the rotor hat drum park brake set up, then I know of a company called Precision Brakes Company at 1 866 992 7253 that sells a spot mount lever actuated caliper that can be place at about the 10 or 2 O'clock position and problem solved. Brackets for this? They can build em'.

      JP,
      Do you have a part number for the Wilwood cables? I have the stock front cable that connects to the foot pedal and the middle cable, just need to get the right rear cables that connect to the brakes themselves.

      Thanks,

      Did you or anyone use the parking brake kit from The Streetrod Manufacturing Co (http://www.tsmmfg.com)? I am planning on using a full floater 9" from Capital Motorsports (http://www.cmwraceparts.com), it does not have a parking brake option. Is the kit easy to install? Does it work well/pass local inspection?

      Thanks,

      Got mine from Wilwood, puck design, with Lokar cables and hand E-brake.

      Works ok, but nothing to write home about.

      Hmm, thanks but this wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I have the stock pedal-action foot activated e-brake, and I have the cable that attaches to the pedal and the intermediate cable. What I need are the two cables that connect to the Wilwood brakes themselves in the rear. My problem is that I don't know what the part I need looks like...

      Sorry Tom,

      I missed this thread response. I'm using the Lokar cables mentioned above with a Lokar hand lever.

      Tom, that is what the part # is for.

      They came in today, they are the cables that connect to the Wilwood internal E brake setup and connect to your factory intermediate cables.
      I have not installed yet because I am having my rearend done and will not get it back for till probably next week.

      Oh, excellent - my bad.
      I saw hand brake and thought they were something else.

      Thanks!
