    Wilwood Brakes Spacer Brackets

    Guys

    I'm installing the E-brake assembly and the manual says to use the Wilwood spacer brackets between the assembly and the clevises that go into the ebrake cables. The manual is indicating that those spacers were included with the brakes but I don't recall seeing them at all. Before I go on a treasure hunt through all my boxes, does anyone know where these spacers were packaged ?

    thanks!

    I could not find them in my packages so I called FFR and they sent them out, no charge.

    Neither my complete kit nor my Wilwood kit included the extenders. I fabricated some starting with a couple of U-bolts. The crosspiece from each U-bolt serves as a spacer. After a test fit, I determined I needed to drill a hole to accept the 1/4” bolt that goes through the rod end. I drilled the hole a bit off-center, so that as the brake cables stretch I can flip the spacer around if needed to take up slack.

    Mine were in the box of parts listed as solid axle brake parts or similar. Look at my last post in this thread.
