Anyone installed the 205 ebrake from High Angle?

I have one on my 71 (but still haven't got the cable hooked up /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif ). The thing you need to watch out for the most is the caliper clearance if you don't have a body lift. The spacing on the bolt pattern for the tailshaft housing on the 205 is not symetrical (the spacing between any 2 of the bolts is not the same /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif). You will need to figure out where you want it before you order it. The only other thing is you have to figure out how to ruite the cable...on mine I'll be able to use the stock cable I just have to find a way of restraining the end of the cable sleeve.
Thanks for the info. Got any pics? I have a 3" BL, so clearance shouldn't be a problem. Jesse also said they have added numerous holes to the mounting system so that you can clock it however you want now. I know you said you haven't hooked up the cable, but have you tried it out yet?
Yep....that whole thing is Jesse's...from the 205 output, to the 1410 Yoke on the 14 Bolt.
Nice stuff.

how long is your shaft? I was thinking about a CV but I dont think I need one with 6" of lift. I would rather spend my $ on bigger joints and yokes.

Jeez......kind of a personal question don't you think? /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
I can't recall the measurement I gave to Jesse, but I'm running a 4" lift and the rear axle is moved back 2" from stock. I wanted the CV-Style to avoid highway vibrations, so I didn't really consider any other options. I like being able to point the pinion straight at the t-case output too.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the e-brake setup (complete) without driveline cost you? It's kinda hart to tell on the web site....
Also, I am asuming you can run any style flange type shaft. (not designed speifically for Hi angle shafts)
Thanks

I believe the e-Brake was a $300 option....
Honestly, I try to NOT think about how much I've spent anymore..... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

The new design is clock-able - for more options and clearance problems in mind- Jess

is there a special reason why the rotor is vented /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
it seems stuff, (mud, little rocks) could get jammed in there, maybe /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif.

Its actually there to get rid of those things- not get all jammed up it gets spit out - Jess

<font color="green"> Jess, how do people usually hook up the cable on the ebrake? I received my shaft and e-brake today but the instructions are nonexistant on how to hook up the ebrake. I assume that this is a case-by-case thing so there's no way to make a universal style system?
I have some ideas on how to hook it up, but it seems that I'm going to have to weld an additional bracket to the ebrake mount so I can make a cable stop for the ebrake cable. The only other way I see to do it would be to make a cable stop that bolts to the transfer case, and I'm not sure that the whole deal would line up well enough to go that route. I assume that some people are running the cable stop from the original place on the frame, but the problem that I see with that is that as the transfer case moves around with engine torque it's going to affect the e-brake actuation. It would also interfere with my exhaust. Maybe the t-case doesn't move enough to cause a problem, but going that route just seems hokey to me.
Anyways, you wouldn't happen to have any pictures of the ebrake fully installed with the cable, would you?</font color>

<font color="green"> I have a plan on how to hook it up, I was just interested in how others have done it. It just seems odd that people are running this kit but nobody seems to have actually hooked up the ebrake... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif What's the point in buying it if you're not going to use it? </font color>

I bought it, installed it (but ran out of time before Blazer-Fest) drove it like twice and broke the tranny...now that the 205 is sitting under the rear end of the truck and the tranny in the backyard it won't be hooked up any time soon. I also have to fix my steering coulmn (it has about 2" of play right now)......it just goes on and on...too much to do to little time.

shaggy,that is the same question i ask myself about the cadillac caliper rear brake setup.a lot of people have them but have yet to see one hooked up that functions.
