LS1 e-brake brackets with LCA relocation brackets

I am going to be installing my LS1 rear brakes and e brake cables today and was wondering how I should go about installing the brake cable brackets since my car has lower control arm relocation brackets on it? Has anybody had this issue before?

Re: LS1 e-brake brackets with LCA relocation brackets

you have the cut the inside part of the e-brake bracket off, or cut it in half and weld in a small piece to make it wider. Honestly, you can just cut off the inner ear and be done with it, you could even put a bolt through the back to make it more stable, or tank weld it in place on thge back of the relo bracket if you so desire.

I just have them cut on my 86 and have not issues.

I just grind off the welds, bolt them in place and reweld but you need to shorten one side and redrill the hole.
