Title: e-brakes/ cables
Post by: 66GSconv. on January 26, 2011, 05:07:03 PM

I have a 66GSconv.that came with a sp300,and now has a sp400 and I'm ready to order an e-brake cable set from inline tube.Is there a differance between the factory e-brake set up and the sp400 e-brake set up.The reason I ask is when you go to the sp400 you have to move the mount pads on the frame back a couple of inches.And i think that would make the intermediate cable  for the sp300 to long.And I think that the e-cable on the front of the frame is also going to be a different lengh then that one of the sp400.
I sure could use some insite to this before I order the wrong parts.
                                                          THANKS!

Yes, everything you said is correct.  They never offered a 400 trans in the '66 GS, but they did in a '67, so you need to order the park brake cable set-up for a '67 GS400 car.
