4 wheel disk kits - quick question on the parking brake...
I've been looking at a few kits (and also piecing it together with some gm parts), but the same general question keeps coming up - the dang parking brake...
Anyone installed any of the big name kits (CPP, POL, ECE, etc) that had success/frustration/whatever when it came to the parking brake? I'd prefer to maintain the stock pbrake handle and use the stock crossmember - so, in other words, tie into the stock system, yet have rear disks! Just wasn't sure how some of the different kit-makers rigged up the parking brake (inner drum on the rotor, clamp pressure on the disk, etc etc) Here's some of them, and some of them reference having the correct hookup, but not real clear on how it works. Appreciate anyone's experiences with this issue, thanks! Mostly interested in how the supplied E or P brake cables connect into the existing system and to the rear disks. Also... since I'm asking brake questions - for someone who has installed front disks from a kit, how much do they bump the front wheels outward? Have heard different amounts... CPP http://www.classicperform.com/Store/.../6366cbk-6.htm POL http://www.performanceonline.com/196...Brake-Booster/ Looks like ECE only offers front disk brake conversion kits. Again, will more than likely piece together a set vice buy a big kit, but the kits above at least show the parking brake cables, and that's what I'm askin about - thanks. |
