Rear Z06 Caliper Install - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

XfireZ51 · 02-23-2014

We're heading back into the deep freeze for the next 10 days. Wednesday the HIGH will be 9F. Tuesday night it's -6F. Highs will be in low 20's going into March.
With that backdrop, decided to spend the weekend in the garage since it was 30F and sunny. Both axles are back together and torqued. Next step is assembling the calipers with the pads, mounting calipers and rotors and torquing. Meantime, I started looking at the eBrake cable setup. For some reason I recall somebody telling me C5 cables would work. Today, I tried a very rough test fit. The C5s are waaaayyyyy too long. One side will practically reach reach the other side. =Jeff= has some 87 cables that we could test fit since the 87 also had drum eBrake. Might need to shop for Lokar universals.
