Emergency brake cable

[eagle mark]

I'm installing my 14 bolt into my 90 Blazer tomorrow. Wondering if anyone has tried to use the Blazers cables in the 14 bolt drum brakes? The 14 bolt cables are totally differant, two serperate short cables as the Blazer has one side cross over to the other and one line to hook up.

When I did my swap I took the cables off of the 12bolt and made them work on the 14bolt. Just have to play with them a little and may have to cut them.

the 14 bolt I got only had a drivers side cable on it. I just clipped it to the other cable and called it done. It worked ok.

I guess one would be better than none...

Get the cable setup from the 70's to mid 80's rigs , from the pedal back ( cables only , don't need new pedal ) , it ends in the two cables at the rear .

Your crossover cable is a newer rig thing .

When i first swapped in my 14ff before going rear disc i used my factory 89 blazer cables and just plug and play, worked perfect.

You'd have to add the frame bracket and what not. Not sure if the cable "hangar" holes are in place on the newer frames either. I don't like the old style, get in the way of exhaust, dropping tranny, etc.

Anyways, I would think newer e-brake cables would be the ticket. If you can make the original 10 bolt stuff work, great, otherwise you can probably just get the cables off of a newer 14 bolt and be done. Might be some length issues, haven't dealt with that setup enough to know if the axle end cables are all the same length.

I'd look into
