Author Topic: Sn95 e brake cables into 85 mustang dre5.0 ¯ Member # 12026 posted                              I’m trying to install sn95 style e-brake cables into my 85 fox but they keep popping off when I tighten or the lift the handle. I already loosened the bracket as much as possible . What could be the problem?

Are they the right length cables? -------------------- -Savage Habits- 1992 Summer Edition 1986 Hatch- catfish killer 1964 Impala hard top F*ck trump Posts: 18490 | From: EA$T $IDE REDWOOD CITY | Registered: Nov 2008  |  : dre5.0 ¯ Member # 12026 posted                              It pops off at the handle ..I bought the complete kit so they should be the right ones, the cables say they are for a 79 to 92 foxbody. Everything else bolted right up Posts: 52 | Registered: May 2012  |  : NEIGHT ¯ Member # 8741 posted                              Is there too much slack? Have you tried adjusting the nut by the handle? -------------------- -Savage Habits- 1992 Summer Edition 1986 Hatch- catfish killer 1964 Impala hard top F*ck trump Posts: 18490 | From: EA$T $IDE REDWOOD CITY | Registered: Nov 2008  |  : NEIGHT ¯ Member # 8741 posted                              So I just installed my disk e brake lines too and I had to mess with the nut to adjust the lines. I tightened the nut on the handle until the cables fully lock around half way when you pull the handle. And don’t forget the e clip at the end near the caliper. EDIT: Mines a 86 so it should be identical.
