Looks like you did it almost exactly how I did it except on the side of the frame instead of the top of it. Glad to hear it works!

I was concerned about access to adjust it all if I placed it on top, once the body went back down. It's tight in there. You have a nut and allen head screws to tighten. So putting it on the side seemed easier from a maintainance and adjustment standpoint.

On the side is definitely easier, but I wanted it out of sight. Hope I can still get to it for adjustment. I think with the right wrenches it shouldn't be a problem.

I am getting ready to order the lokar universal parking brake cable kit and I have a question on which clevises I need to order for my parking brakes.Originally Posted by chevynut
Paul you replace the entire cable. Here's the prior thread:

Here's the parts I used...I'd check eBay and Summit Racing:
http://www.lokar.com/product-pgs/ebr...ke-cables.html
http://www.lokar.com/product-pgs/ebr...evis-kits.html
Lokar lists the Wilwood style clevis as the one I need for 88 to 96 Corvettes. My 90 Corvette rear caliper looks like it needs the 84 to 87 Corvette style clevis.
Here is what my stock caliper and parking brake set up looks like.
Any advice will be appreciated.

Brian, I'm not following you. Lokar just calls it a "Corvette Clevis" and I don't see a different one for 84-87 and 88-96. Please explain. I bought their Corvette Clevis and it seems to fit fine. I can get some pics if you want.

I just checked and I'm mistaken. I did get the EC-80WC clevis kit. I'm not sure how the 84-87 Corvette Clevis kit EC-80CC is different.

The EC-80CC is what they list is for 84 to 87 Corvettes. I think it is the Corvette Clevis in the picture above based on what Speedway and others are selling. How did you attach the EC-80WC to your parking brake? Do yours look like mine?
Thanks, Brian
It turns out I didn't even take them out of the package, I just looked at them and they look like they'd work. I thought I'd hooked them up but apparently I just put the cables and sheaths together. The clevis should just slip over the lever. I don't know why the 80CC wouldn't work unless the hole is too small to fit over the late lever. I have both early and late rearends here so I could see what's different about them.

I guess the wildwood style will work by hooking the clevis pin over the bracket. I'll probably just order those since there about $10. cheaper too. Could always modify the bracket to make them work if needed.
Thanks for the input.
Brian
