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)

One thing that may need to be addressed before you get too far down the path, is cable length. The passenger side is less of a concern as the cable is longer and it's unsupported distance is greater (allows more flexability).
The issue may come up where when you lower the car, the drivers side cable becomes tight and will actuate that side e-brake. When I was determining exactly what the location of the cable anchor was on the drivers side, I discovered this potential issue. As the control arm is raised up into the vehicle (as it does when you sit the car down on the suspension), the distance between the cable tube on the body and the cable anchor on the trailing arm increases. My solution was to leave enough slack in the cable that this would not be an issue under full compression of the control arm. When in the raised position, the e brake cable can touch the header on the drivers side, but when down on the ground, there is not enough slack for that to happen. |
