Note, the top 2 ends connect to your existing ebrake cable at the front, the 2 bottom left end hook around the ebrake levers at each wheel
You’ll also need a set of brackets for the rear end that hold the cables. You can source them from hawks or a junkyard ls1 car.
I had these powdercoated for $40 locally
If you’re retarded like me and swapped over to a 4th gen e-brake cable, you’ll need a set of standard 4th gen e-brake cables
Note the 2 right ends fit into the 4th gen ebrake cable bracket, and the 2 left ends hook around the backing plate levers at each wheel. I measured these at 13.68mm OD at the clip, and 58.5″ end to end, 49.75″ collar to collar
You’ll also need a bracket to hold the cables under the car
Since the cables can’t fit through the openings, you’ll need to cut a cable widths section at each hole as shown in the 3rd picture. You will also need to open up the diameter of only the double side with a drill bit to that the cable ends can come through. Just use a drill bit the size of the hole and hold the drill at an angle as you go around in circles at an even speed, this will forcefully cause the bit to remove excess material opening up the hole.Line up the plate under the car in approximately this position, and mark the 4 holes for mounting. Using a 1/4″ drill bit, drill the holes and insert bolts from the bottom with washers at the top & bottom using torque prevailing lock nuts to secure. Then you’ll need to forcefully open up the equalizer bracket using screw drivers and pliers so you can get the cable ends “in” the holes. Using a pair of big pliers, you can crush the bracket together to trap the ends. That should be it for this end
Next, if you have a ford 9″, you’re going to need to hammer the little locator tabs flat on each bracket (first pic). Then in order to clearance the wider LCA brackets for the rear, you’ll need to slightly bend the bracket “outward” (sec pic). Third picture shows it distorted and opened up slightly so we can fit it around the 9″Buy the following hardware from Autozone, you’ll need 4 bolts, 8 washers, 4 lock nuts total for the next stepMount the brackets to the rear end using the hardware as shown. Additionally you can trim the top “ear” of the bracket so that it sits “flush” to the rear, but I opted out of doing this for vanity sake.

Now you’re done! Test your e-brake out and if it’s still too loose, take your rotors off and adjust the parking brake shoes out further
