Went to the U-Pull-On-It yard the other day and grabbed the rear disk brakes off a 96 (I think...) Explorer. Looks like the install will be simple enough. I already have a solution to get past the difference in axle flange mounting.
What I'm looking for is a clean solution to adapt the stock Bronco E-brake cables to the Explorer backing plate. For me, the E-brake is a must, and one of the big reasons I decided on the Explorer rear brakes. I looked on Currie Enterprises web site and it looks like their solution is to replace the E-brake cable with Lokar Universal cables. No offense to Lokar, but I wasn't impressed... It doesn't seem like it should be necessary to replace my rear E-brake cables, but I will if I have to. It just seems like there should be a really simple adapter to connect our original E-brake cables to the Explorer E-brake assy.
So, please... For all you guys that have done the Explorer rear brake conversion, show me what you've got for E-brake cables.
Or am I missing something really obvious...
