Re: Need Part number for Ebrake cable for LS1 rear brakes.

I have just got my e brake working on my LS1 brakes using the Lokar universal cables. It took a bit of modifying but they seem to work well. They were expensive but being in Australia I couldn't just go to the wrecking yard and get forth gen cables.

Re: Need Part number for Ebrake cable for LS1 rear brakes.

I've went through this on another thread, but I'll post here how I did it.

First I used wagner cables #BC140184. got them from Napa online.
I used a 4th gen brake lever and front cable I got off a six banger car. Seems to be no difference in what motor or trans, the levers seem to be all the same. I also cut the front cable bracket out of a 4th gen.

First I installed the cables on the brakes. Then I put the 4th gen brake lever in with the 4th gen cable. I ran the cable through my old grommet.
I then attached the 4th gen bracket to the front cable and that set my location front to rear. I had to remove part of the old brake cable mount for the new bracket to attach to the floor board, but that wasn't a big deal. I then attached the 4th gen bracket to the floor board and then finished putting the rear cables on. End of story. Works perfectly. I love the self adjust feature of the 4th gen handle. I have pics of the bracket I used somewhere if anyone needs to see what it looks like.
