roll cage and e brake options

[jmeyer1971]

First are there any other e brake pedal options that can be used on a bronco. I think the $129.00 for a used one from the vendors is wayyy too much. Secondly since there is an interference issue with the roll cage it easier to make a hand operated option. All suggestions and creativity are welcome.

I took a torch and bent the original.

I used a lever from a J**p Cherokee mounted between the seats. Had to cut the equalizer mount off under the truck and move it back some to make it work.

The stock one works great, even with a roll cage. Just drill a new hole in the dash about 1 1/2” to the right of the original location. Pull it over and bolt it up, simple and done. I recently bought one from Randy at Driven 4x4, it was less than your quote.

Took the old one, cut the rear mounting flange and flipped it to the other side. Rewelded and put in a couple gussets. This will move it about an inch to the right. You will need to drill a new hole in the dash to mount the front.

What did you do with the glovebox on the passenger side?

What garberz said. Pull the front over to clear and drill a new front hole. Simple.

My E brake pad stops 1/4" from hitting the bar so I didn't have to relocate it at all.

I agree just heat and bent or move the whole thing over just a enough to clear it. How to address the glove box door/tube clearance issue.

The hinge mod trick. http://www.broncohio.com/tech/gloveboxdoor.html I did this one in like 10 min.

Post #6 came up with a alternate hinge method. http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=245241

I guess its to late for you, but for other, get a cage that is done better and does not interfere with the foot brake. My setup works with the brake in the stock location so I know it can be done in the correct manner.
