Re: CPP Rear Discs E-Brake Issues
I'll take some pictures but the shop did figure out a solution. They had to cut the outer cable shielding and use some sort of adjustable ends as well as cut the cables and use barrel clamps but...the brakes don't work nearly as well as I had hoped. I know they need some time to break in and settle so I hope they get better. The E brake doesn't hold on a hill but there is still some more adjustment and the brakes, CPP discs all around with a new disc/disc proportioning valve, will not lock up. When I slam on the brakes they do work but the peddle goes down a ways as the brakes ease into stopping. Not scary but not locking up.
Oh and CPP sent the longer wheels studs which didn't fit the axles! We had to buy the lug nuts with a longer shoulder that goes into the wheel in order to make this work rather than try and get different studs.
I'm another victim of cheap Chinese manufacturing while an American company makes some money off of me!
I had a long conversation with my mechanic about the changes he's seen in the hot rod parts market over the years. You used to be able to talk with the engineers and design folks but now you can only reach some sales guy that will tell you "It should fit and if not you'll have to get creative and figure it out"!
I feel you Accelo!
