Zoldman Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Hey all, Here's one for the books. My recently adopted 260Z w/GM305 TPI and 4L60 trans did not have a working e brake, so I climbed under her to set things right and found a real mess. Someone pounded, beat on, and generally mangled the rear swivel arms that the cable frome each wheel attach to (close to the diff). The whole assembly is pushed up against the underside of thebody, and is badly damaged. He must have thought that the arm assembly was going to be in the way of the new driveshaft, but I measured and it would have been ok. I tried bending it back down to hook up the cables, but it is so mangled, that it doesn't want to swivel any more, so that won't work. The e brake handle and arm up front are fine. Has anyone dealt with this before, and found another way to hook up the cable from handle to the rear cables? LIke maybe run the cable back to a "Y" fitting and hook both cable on? I did a search and found nothing like this........lucky me. I'm not a fab/welding guy, so what to do? Thanks Bill Boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I am thinking of adding one of those keyed line locks you can plumb into your hydralic brake lines. You press the brake turn the key and all four wheels are tied up. I am sure that it has its draw backs, such as ease of use, ect. But it will also make the car so that it is not driveable if broken in to. Anyone else using one of these or know someone who has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
