Reply to "hand brake cable location."

larrywMember

I routed the cable from the drivers side of the equalizer pulley to the passenger side e-brake and vice versa so the sheaths crossed under the transmission and left the sheaths hanging loose unattached.

Then I set the adjusters to get the handle effort I liked in the cabin and pulled it up hard to engage the e-brake. I made a couple of tabs to hold the cable sheaths as closely as I could to where they wanted to be under tension.

It significantly eased the radius of the bends in the e-brake cable sheath where they turn 90 degrees and head to the caliper from the frame rails. I believe the resulting loss of friction has left me with a much more effective e-brake.
