Kind of a dark and crappy photo, but if your rear Wilwood discs have the parking brake built in like mine, this is what you’ll need to do.

My parking brake cables are Lokar and have the ends installed on them already.

That’s great! What did you use to attach the cable to the lever? Looks like some type of L bracket

My brakes are just backing plates with c7 zo6 calipers and rotors. The backing plates have that same lever built in.

Yea. I purchased my kit through big brake upgrade and it is a backing plate with a lever. I’m sure I can figure something out. Just figured some of you guys must’ve already done this several times lol
The factory cables have an end on them that looks like a rectangle, that goes onto the lever and the cable locks onto a bracket on the caliper.

Like I said, those brackets came already installed on the Lokar cables. I’m sure there’s some better pictures on my Juggernaut build thread, but unfortunately I’m working and don’t have time to look for them. But feel free to search for them yourself.

I’m gonna look when I get back aswell. I believe I have those stick brackets. Thanks again.

Thanks again chief 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼. Can’t wait to get this thing rolling.
In the process of upgrading brakes ( blazer spindle and caliper up front) I'm wanting to do the rear in disc brakes too. I'm wondering with either the aftermarket kits or the 00 LS Camaro rears, the E brake is necessary? I've never used one in an automatic car. The aftermarket kits have optional E brake or no, and I assume if you don't run one with the 00 Camaro parts there will be no issue. Anyone with pros vs cons? I live in a flat state and the car is a warm weather cruiser.
Here is my updated thread, tons of info and pics.
