Relocating E brake cable bracket.
 

I Just installed a set of Hooker Competition long tube headers on my 82. I thought I was replacing my current long tube headers but they were mids. Now I'm dealing with the chain reaction of this. One issue I'm running into is the header flange is too close to the E brake cable bracket that's riveted into the frame. I'm going to have to remove it to run the exhaust. Has anyone else run across this issue and if so can I ask what you did with the bracket? I'm sure it is not the biggest deal but I wanted to see who else has run into this issue.

I had to move my trans crossmember back ~7" when I did my manual swap, and this caused the parking brake cable to rub the frame. I just cut off the bracket on the frame and made a new one out of some 0.125" plate to hold the cable in the correct position and bolted it to the frame.

I can take a picture if that would help you get the idea, but my application is different than yours and your bracket will need to be slightly different.

I did the same as vette, when I swapped to the nv4500, I had to make a new bracket for the cable
