    E Brake/Caliper attachment.

    /Users/eamici/Desktop/E Brake.jpg

    I hope the attached file is visible. I've got he rear Willwood brake upgrade. I'm having trouble figuring how to attach the cable to the e brake calipers.
    In the pic my thumb and forefinger are pointing to the areas that are in question.

    No picture. You can't link a picture directly from your desktop. Have to put it somewhere, e.g. attachment, hosting site, this forum's gallery, etc.

    You should have received a Wilwood adapter with your kit. I don't have the best pics, but here are a couple:





    Also shown quite clearly and explained in the IRS instructions. Page 35 has a good pic. http://www.factoryfiveparts.com/cont...2-2015-irs.pdf

    Not exactly your setup, but the picture is good (I hope!).

    A couple of years ago, some folks were reporting that the Wilwood spring isn't strong enough to fully release the emergency brake. I added a 3-1/4" length, 7/16" O.D., .062 wire gauge (Hillman Item # 540120, #40) spring, as well as a 1/2" E-clip to retain the parking brake on the caliper.

    Cheers,


    John
