    Best way to service Emergency Brake System?

    Hello I have inspected my emergency cable system asssembly, everything looks good but it is hard to enable, I was wondering if anyone has lubricated the system and found good results. Also is there an interchange part for the cables? Thank you Stewart

    Emergency Brake

    Newbie question of the day - is the emergency brake handle supposed to be difficult to pull up? I tried mine yesterday and had a heck of a time with it. I got a little concerned about forcing it and gave up. The pulley system is a newer stainless steel replacement. Do the springs just need...

    Brake Master Cylinder Option

    For those of you with rear drums still, I found a 1 1/8" master cylinder that I'm going to try. It is from Classic Performance Products. It is a "Corvette Style" with the same size fittings and bore (front and rear switched) and it is aluminum. It is a few bucks more than the parts store...
