Rebuilding/relocating e-brake
 

For the creative DIYers here, could someone clue me in on how to essentially make a handbrake and extend the cables? The factory kick brake is permanently out of commission due to a sacrifice I made for some custom mods and I'd like to get one back and working. Planning on buying a lever and attaching it on one side of the driver seat, so I'd need to extend the cables a few feet.

No idea where to start. Anybody feel like giving me some ideas?

I saw a guy use a Grand Am ebrake setup on his Grand Prix. I'll see if I can find that link for you tonight. Or google that and you may find something.

i would love to do this!!

This was the guy who did the Grand Am e-brake Kuntzie's 01 Turbo GT 5-speed thread----- pg 10 extra special sunday delivery!!

Couldn't find the thread on changing out the e-brake but this may help you search for it.

Found it...but thought it had more detail on how to swap it

hand brake link!

Wow that swap (both of them actually) is quite impressive. A guy on another forum I'm on did the 6 speed swap. He had to get custom made axles though.
