Author Topic: E-brake adjustment? 2coupe ¯ Member # 2991 posted                              Does anyone know if you can adjust the ebrake by adjusting the ebrake handle or the rear sn95 calipers? I mounted the bracket a little to far so it doesn't pull on the brakes. Thanks. -------------------- 87 NX powered coupe Full suspension and now working on a motor recipe.

There is some adjustment in the E-brake lever mechanism. you'll need to pull the center consule out and adjust the paul going into the handle. Sure you have the right cables? -------------------- R.I.P.

It pulls on the 2 rear at the same time when ebrake is applied (had I mounted it correctly). It came with my complete sn95 rear disc brake setup. How much adjustment can be made using the handle? Thank you. -------------------- 87 NX powered coupe Full suspension and now working on a motor recipe.

Than this bracket has another single paul that runs into the car and winds around the e-brake mech. I wasn't aware that this bracket mounted to anything. I just recall it suspended above the driveshaft with tension from the cables. You can make some slight adjustments with the cable in the car like I mentioned. I'll ask again, sure you have the right cables for this app.?? -------------------- R.I.P.

You can't adjust the e-brake cables anymore than they already are bro. You have to get shorter cables. The SN95 bodies are slightly longer than a foxbody and so the e-brake cables are also longer to compensate. You need to remove the cables you have and get shorter ones! I can't stress that enough -------------------- "Men are Made, Not Born" Car Picture : http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/quick88lx/ Original Member #495. Can I get my number back?

On my application, I just don't have a working e-brake yet -------------------- "Men are Made, Not Born" Car Picture : http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/quick88lx/ Original Member #495.

I just thought I can solve this problem easily, but guess not. Let me know when you fix yours and I'll let know if I fix mines. Thanks. -------------------- 87 NX powered coupe Full suspension and now working on a motor recipe.

Try contacting stainless steel brake corp and see if they have any cables that'll match up. What about the cables that come in the ford cobra brake conversion kit for a fox body? Any chance these will work. I would think so but do you have sn95 cobra or gt calipers. Good luck -------------------- R.I.P.
