The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop Lokar e-brake cable adjusters

I'm getting around to installing the brake system on my truck.The adjuster screws on the Lokar cables are aluminum and they thread through a metal bracket...Should I use anti-seize or something on these screws ? ..What little instructions that come with these didnt mention anything about it............dave

David..I used the Lokar set-up as well, if you're referring to the cables from the crossbar to the rear brakes,I put a light smear of copper grease on the threads.
I am unsure what you mean by threading through a metal bracket,do you mean the original chassis brackets for the conduits?
If so,as I said I used a little grease.
Hope this helps.
As far as I'm aware,the main adjustment is made at the clevis end.
I do agree though,the instructions are a little 'sketchy'

Thanks Jock,no I'm not using the original set up.none of that stuff was on my truck when I bought it.I'm using the trans mount e-brake lever.Those have the adjusters on the ends of the cables.
.....the adjusters are aluminum and are threaded and screw into a steel bracket...Dont know if these will oxidize or not but I guess to be safe I'll put some anti-seize on it anyway......dave

P.S. I did run my cables through the factory brackets though,seems to keep them out of the way very nice.....dave

I know the set-up your referring to now David.
I thought the alloy parts looked anodized,but a little anti-seize wont hurt.
