The new cable you install is adjustable under the car.<br /><br />the cable part numbers to search for them on summit are 2810-a and 2809-a<br /><br />the "rear" cables you need 2 of, the front you need 1 of.<br /><br />I didn't need the "front" cable with my `91 that I put discs in the rear on, just the rear cables. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>1988notchback</b> <br /><small>Member # 4498</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,7,22,21,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> thanks man for all the advice ill start checking on that stuff asap <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
