parking brake cable relocation?

Recommended Posts

Under the car, the bracket/joint that splits the e-brake cable to both of the rear wheels (this bracket/spring thing is just under the drivers floor -- I can't seem to upload a pic at the moment) is hitting my exhaust pipe.  Arguably, I could/should drop the exhaust.  However, is there such a thing as relocating the parking brake cables + mechanism so they're out of the way?

Absolutely.  Just need to make sure you keep the loop distance the same otherwise your tension adjustment will be all out of what (or shorten the cable).  I fabricated my own trans crossmember for my T56 and cut a slot in it for the e-brake cable's J-hook.  This lowered it more than the factory location, so now it doesn't rub against the rear of the floorpan.

oh sweet.  Good idea -- any chance you have a pic of your setup?
