So, did a little tinkering recently. Started working on the e-brake setup for the car, and with it having a GN rear axle with 02 Camaro disks, I knew this would be interesting. I ended up getting a universal e-brake kit online, along with some GM e-brake brackets off Amazon.
Here is the bracket. I grabbed a small washer to fit the 12mm suspension bolt along with a fender washer to keep it in place.
I bolted it onto the outside of the lower control arm mount. It’s almost in line with the e-brake lever. You can see I put the bracket on from the universal brake kit.
I mounted this one on the inside of the lower control arm mount on the drivers side. It did require a little bit of trimming.
You can see I cut the outter housing down to length to go from one bracket to the other. I did add a couple washers just for a little peace of mind
I went through the drawers at the local hardware store and bought a bunch of different springs. I settled on this size, hoping it works good.
On the passenger side, I followed the same routing for the cable. I could have easily just used the original, but figured since I was replacing one side, why not replace the other.
Up and over the middle
Where the 2 cables come together isn’t perfect, but it should be good enough to use, and pass the state inspection.
This is where I got to. I am going to loop the factory cable around the thimble and clamp it onto itself. In my mind it works, but we shall see how it functions.
