Cheap LS1 Rear parking brake cable mod
Just thought I would pass on a idea I had when converting to LS1 Rear brakes using the stock 3 gen cables for PBR (alum) rear calipers. I made 9.5" long (measure in between the nubs at each end) extension cables. I had to tack weld the cables at each end to ensure the nubs I crimped did not slide off. then used a cable splice that I cut open long ways to slip both old and new extension cables in. Closed it and used a small hose clamp to ensure it did not re-open.
Cheaper than the special cables and in the last 3 years has not failed.
Since I have the car apart for some upgrades it's a opportunity to take a good photo of it...

I did this for a while years back. However, I decided to spend the 100$ on a set from hawks than trust a rigged up setup.
