Still another 911 e-brake thread, there are many like it but this one is mine.... Options

Eric, since you asked so nicely in the thread that we hijacked, here are some pics of my e-brakes using stock 914 brake cables. I just finished them up, and there are some slightly fuzzy pics, but here they are..... (pre-blog even)

[PRS914-6]

John, I am in the process of doing a similar installation except I have 69 911 parts and they go on without any slotting. On the 69, the shoe's are held from rotating by a welded block on the arm that goes up between the shoes. This prevents the shoes from rotating force when they are energized when moving. I did not see a a retainer on your set up and your pictures look identical to mine except the wider bolt circle. I ended up welding a similar piece of metal on the 914 rear arm that will prevent the rotation. How are your shoes restrained?, your pictures do not show a block. The hole on the welded piece on my arm is where the cable goes through

Where the block goes:
