I have a 75 camaro rear in my 55 2nd gen. panel and would like to utilize the factory ebrake connection on the frame. Anyone have any part #s or suggestions. Thanks! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 649 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 649 | I put a 79 camaro rearend under my 51 Burb, and I doubt if the E-cables are that much different, mine is drum type. Are you talking disc? I haven't figured out how to secure the cable housing to the backing plate. Don't the end attach to the frame/clamp brkt like the AD's? If they don't I could see where you might have a problem. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | I'm not sure about the second series,but it might be worth looking at Lokar. I used a mid 80's Camaro/Firebird rear in my AD and the Lokar cables hooked right up.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Looks like ill have to go with a lokar kit or move the frmae mount location and go with the camaro e-brake cables. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 348 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 348 | contact control cables in santa fe springs, ca google them | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,215 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,215 | I have a set from Control Cables, '37 ends on one side, '79 on the other. Use the downloadable brake cable sheets, very easy to get what you want.
