NOTE: These cables are for use with Lokar’s Transmount

Transmount Emergency Brake Cable Installation
Step 1: Remove the rear brake drums and install the backing
plate fittings and cables in the original cable holes.
If using late Corvette or Wilwood external parking cali-
pers, you need Lokar’s Part # EC-80WC Wilwood Clevis
Kit.
Step 2: The single 3/4” spacer that came with bolts and
hand brake is to be placed in left side of hand
brake, gear plate to the front. Included in the brake
cable kit and bracket there are three (3) 3/8” wide
and one (1) 1/4” spacers to center the brake cable
bracket. Place two (2) 3/8” spacers to the outside
of the gear plate, one (1) 3/8” spacer to the inside
of gear plate and place one (1) 1/4” spacer to the
inside of the gear plate between the cable bracket
and trans bracket.
See Diagrams.
Step 3: Route outer housing to brake cable bracket;
make sure to route housing away from the tail
pipes and drive shaft.
Do not cut housing too short.
Step 4: Cut black outer housing with heavy brand 8”
diagonal-cutting pliers or hacksaw. If outer
housing is braided stainless steel style, tape
and cut with abrasive cut-off saw or fine
toothed hacksaw.
Lokar recommends Klein brand
Diagonal-Cutting Pliers # D-2000-28 available
at Home Depot or through W.W. Graingers,
Part # 4A838.
Step 5: Feed springs onto inner wire and install from
backing plates. Set adjuster about three-quarters
of the way in and feed inner cable to cable
junction block and set setscrews.
See Diagrams.
Step 6: Adjust cable evenly; make sure that the hand
brake lever goes all the way forward on the first
adjustment.
