Has anyone used this kit? What were your results?

So far I hooked up the drivers side to some 1986 Cadillac Seville brakes. It almost looks like I might have to make an extended bracket to attach to the E brake cross bar to get more throw.

Mark,I used them,nice easy install,they cut to fit as i'm sure you're aware,the only issue I had was the left rear caliper faces the back so had to route the conduit carefully but there's plenty of extra length to allow for this,not a problem if you're using drum brakes.... see here..
I've used a Gen 3 Pontiac rear with discs,once I got the brake calipers adjusted correctly it works just fine.
Just make sure the foot pedal plate 'bites' onto the pedal shaft well.

I have the Lokar brake kit in my 52 truck. I have a 9" Ford Torino with drum brakes and I hooked it up to the standard AD E-brake control ends. All I had to do was cut the cables to fit. Works great.

I have a feeling the Seville brakes are like my 88 IROC brakes. In that they need a full throw and I don't think I'm getting that on the current set up. Nothing that can't be fixed. Although, the calipers might just need a click or two.

I bought a set off Ebay awhile back. They worked out pretty good for me.

Thanks everyone for the comments!!
