Re: Finally made a little progress - pics

I'll look into that for sure! I'm new to the disc/drum thing like this - as you can see.

If a dual master is the way to go, that's next on my list of parts.

I will have an E-brake, which I'm going to have to figure out how to work since the rear is a new 5 lug unit - appearantly with shorter cables. I've heard the '66 and newer set-up will work with the current firewall mounted lever I have - true? Anyone?

I can confirm that the e-brake set-up for a 1966 will work with 1971-1972 e-brake cables as I have installed a rear axle out of a 71 into my 66. Have you tried removing the e-brake cables from the old rear and installing them on the newer axle?

I don't have the old rear, but I have thought about that. Wonder if the older, longer cable would work on the newer rear/brakes?
