Take a look at this if cables need to be made or modified.

Just might come in handy.

I received the 03 cobra e-brake handle and cables today.  I did not know that the pivot radius for the shifter handle cable sat in a recessed pocket in the trans tunnel.  Had I known this I may have gone with an aftermarket e-brake kit.  Since I have it I think I’ll see if I can make it work.  Worse case is I have a hole to patch in the trans tunnel.

The cables are to long but I figured they would be.  Test fitting them I’ll need to have two bends in each cable to make them fit.  The radius of each bend is very forgiving but there’s only one way to find out if the bends will affect the function of the e-brake.  Using all factory parts is the biggest attraction to this effort.

I laid out the floor where it needs cut out and I called it a night. I want to sit back and think this over before I go head first into it.   I forgot to snap pictures of the cable routing.

One of my favorites at the South Eastern Gasser races is a 63 Fairlane  with a SBF engine....351 base. (IT'S A BAD 'UN !!!)
He leaves the line at 12,000RPM and shifts at 10,000 !!  YIKES!!      (thx RPM)
Wonder what kinda oil press he runs ?!

Here, a picture is definitely worth a thousand words.

RTM – those cooper-nickel brake lines are a lot easier to bend and shape than the SS ones.  As mentioned in my recent post, the hydroboost hose runs (in addition to the PS hose runs) makes for a snake pit of hoses.  If I had to do in over, I’d use black hose to hide it a bit.   
BTW – I ran my SS rear brake line and SS fuel line in the stock location in the driveshaft tunnel.

 
The lines were really easy to work with.  Even the bubble flare was dead center along with all the inverted ones.   The coiled up part under the MC was done by wrapping the line around the engine mount by hand.  I bought the same line for my gas line but in 3/8 instead of 5/16. 

That’s a great idea going with black hoses.  My engine bay will be the same satin black I used on the roll bar.   Plan on the same satin black for the dash and interior part of the doors.

Bob I put my adjustable proportioning valve in the same spot, but spaced it out a bit to be able to turn the knob easily.
