4th gen rear swap...parking brake cable?
I've got a 99 rear end to put in my 87 T/A. Will the parking brake cables hook right up, or will I need to do something else? I searched for brake cable, and NOTHING came up. Wow!Thanks!

Re: 4th gen rear swap...parking brake cable?
nothing is a direct bolt in, you need to "make" something work for now. Edmiller was working on getting custom cables made-up but they have been over a year in the making and things are not looking good. look for a thread in the brake board titled "Hey Ed"

Re: 4th gen rear swap...parking brake cable?
I made up this brkt. and welded it to the underside and the stock cables hook right up.

It makes it align like the stock 4th gen.

You do have to reshape the ends of the cables to fit in the stock t-bar.

I can't repost the picture so here is the link:
