help: need longer E-brake line

[muddybuddy]

hey guys, i just put an 8" lift on my 88 k5 and the e-brake cable is real tight. as it is now, its so tight that i can not put the parking brake on.

Can somebody give me a part number for advance auto or auto zone for a cable that will work?


thanks guys, all help is greatly appreciated!

I donno 'bout the new ones, but I just fabbed an extension to the middle coupler, gave me enough. Granted, I only did 4" and my p-brake setup is different than yours ... but it's a thought.

Otherwise, pm Desert Rat here and ask him about the place he found that does custom cables.

I used (I don't know what it's called so I'll try to describe it...) a ring used for joining two pieces of chain. It has a threaded colar that you can unscrew to put the cable in and then thread the colar back up to close the gap. It was perfect for my application as I only needed an inch more to make my cable work.

Maybe something like a turnbuckle might work for you?
