Parking brake cable with rear disks
Parking brake cable with rear disks
I'm looking for some tips or advice on attaching the P brake cable to a maxima rear disk setup. My calipers are mounted on the bottom of the rotor and the cable itself seems to work length wise. The end of the cable needs some type of mod for it too work, I have some ideas but would like to see if anyone has done it more simply than what I am thinking. Thanks!

I used Z32 parking brake cables and the body attachment points that were built into the cables. I used a hand brake lever from an RX-7 mounted to the side of the transmission tunnel, on the drivers side, but I believe just about any could be made to work.

It would help if you describe the actual problem.gnar510 wrote:The end of the cable needs some type of mod for it too work, I have some ideas but would like to see if anyone has done it more simply than what I am thinking. Thanks!
If you just have the cable with no ends, the HELP section of your local PepGenZone will have bolt-on cylindrical ends that will engage with the parking brake lever at the caliper. I used those on my Z31 rear caliper setup.

Re: Parking brake cable with rear disks
I do have the cables. The stock cable uses a small round clamped on piece, what I need seems to be more of a T shape.
I had figured there would be something available like you mentioned okayfine, but was a bit weary of this working without issues.
Thanks for the tips I will see if I can get something going and post some pics.
