Ebrake Cable Help!
Monday, February 14, 2005 3:51 PM
I just got done my rear disc setup and all looks good... have to space a few things out with washers, but all good. Only thing is, how do i hook up this ebrake? I am using the 89-95 corvette rear disc setup. Can anyone get me a pic of how they ran it and hooked it up? Thanks!

What exactly is the problem? What do the connectors look like for the cables? Have you seen my instructions for the Baer kit? They include a new set of cables to fit their calipers. If you're trying to attach the stock cables, that may be your issue.

i didn't get the baer kit, went the route of custom kit with corvette stuff like in the GP. I read from John Lenko That he used his stock cables, didn't know how.

I didn't ask if you got the Baer kit. I asked if you're trying to attach the stock cables to a caliper with a different sort of connector and I asked what the connector looks like.

The solution might be to source some cables similar to what Baer includes with their kit.

i understand what u are saying. u obviously know what the stock looks like, and since the stuff is the same as the baer kit, i was wondering how u could get the stock cables to work. John Lenko somehow did so i read and he isn't responding to an e-mail. If i do have to source a difference ebrake cable, does anyone by chance know which car i could get one off of? Thanks!

The cables that came with my Baer kit... the ends looked identical to the stock cables... but they were shorter. I used my stock cables at first (I misplaced the Baer cables, lol!). When I moved the kit from the charred remains of the BFZ, to the Zex Machine... I used the Baer cables.

From my understanding, Y-body ebrake cables have the same connections as the J-body. It's the F-body cables that are different on the ends, even tho the caliper is the same as the Y-car (Corvette)..... but.... Maybe that's backwards?

I've seen both Y and F body calipers.. they're identical. But the ebrake spring and where the cable attaches is completely different.

BTW, what email were you trying me at?? I haven't gotten anything about brakes recently..

Actually... I'm not really sure what the stock ends look like. I never disconnected them from the back of the drums when I tore everything apart.

That was some fun work... most of the "removal" process for the drums involved a pry bar.
