|
|
I've searched for pictures on how to route the emergency brake cables on a CB Performance rear disc brake conversion for an IRS Ghia. No luck. I've tried different ways..even upside down. Looks good except the bleeder is below the brake line. Any help??

Mine routed nicely in front of the bump stop on top of the control arm, if I remember correctly. I'll have to take a look/picture tomorrow.
Upside down doesn't look to bad, but I would be concerned about the cable possibly getting snagged on something. Unlikely to happen, but a possibility none the less. _________________ 2333(103x70) Type 4 DTM MS3+X on 73 Karmann Ghia ignition only with LS2 truck coils firing in sequential, fuel next. |

Here they are mounted according to the directions. The directions from CB Performance makes no mention on routing the e/brake cable. I can't believe this is right.

I would contact CB Performance with these pictures and see what they have to say. |

I did. They pretty much told me it's not much they could do. So I made it work. The routing looks good, imo. Also, made the hard brake line to rubber line joint secure.
