Car specs in sig.

Haven't been able to drive the car yet though I still need to fix the assembly for one of the brake lines, finish up my front suspension work, and bleed the brakes...

Anyway, that's kind of off topic...as everyone who has done the 4th-gen rear end swap knows, the e-brake doesnt work, stock...so I want to get my e-brake fixed. Yes, I know I have an automatic, but I'm going to need it for inspection, and my mom who is not too well-versed on cars (but somehow found out that my e-brake does not work) is making me do it (though she is letting me drive the car, so long as I'm actively working on a solution for the e-brake)

I need to know what exactly I will need to get the brakes to work again?

The only problem I see, at a first glance, is that the cables are too short. I found some 56 3/4" cables at Napa for $20, those would probably work, but I've heard something about a bracket?

Please help, I'm confused. Thanks

 

LT1 or LS1 style brakes? On my LT1 rear brakes I used Advanced Auto Parts cables listed for a 1991 Z28.

 

They're LT1 brakes.

So basically, what you're saying is, look for e-brake cables from a thirdgen with disc brakes (like a '91 Z28 would)?

 

I did the 4th Gen rear swap as well and had a problem with my ebrake at first, but I got it to work pretty well, even though my cables were shorter and thicker. Maybe some rears have shorter cables than others? Anyways, what I did was zip tie the cables to the old brackets that "directed" the stock cables, so they don't flop into the driveshaft. I also had to move the piece that holds the ends of the cables farther down on the thing that connects it to the cable that goes to the ratchet/handle assembly. I hope that made sense, I don't know what that part is called. Hope this helps!

 

Yes, this should fix your problem.

Fix it to an inline lock, front tires only........always a plus when your showing your *** doing sick burnouts.
