Re: E-brake

A lot of disc brake rearends are similar and have the same calipers left and right
Should be a long and short cable

Re: E-brake

So give him a call he can help with drums also.
He made me a set for my 9" Ford to the stock 53 Chevy, and a set for the GMC which is a Camaro to 55 GMC

Solid, do you know those guys? I was shocked when I opened his web page and found a picture of boat that I used to work on on the front page. The owner recently passed away and the boat has been sold but it was pretty surprising. Anyway just curious. I am going to be getting in touch with them soon about e-brake cables for our truck.....Thanks
