      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.




      1986 Monte SS, 427 sbc, Victor E manifold, FAST TB, FAST XFI, T56 6spd, Moser M9 rear 3:70, SC&C G5, Spohn lowers, Pole Position Uppers, Alston Coil Overs, Pirelli all around
