I think I've come up with a totaly new way to hook up 911 parking brakes. It involves making up longer hybrid cables.

It's not complex, doesn't cost tons, and is about as straight forward as possible.

It functions exactly as intended in the 911.

Here is a teaser photo;

Here is a link to my write-up on how I did it (it's a preliminary write-up).

hybrid cables

(can somebody please find me the photo that I've seen on this site where somebody used a cable end block at the parking brake lever that had set screws)
