Does anyone have a diagram or photo of the e-brake equalizer/cable connections for an '88? The shop manual doesn't make it very clear how it all fits together.

Thanks

1988 GT, 5-speed, white, beechwood leather, 3.4 DOHC 6-speed installation in process. Really. I am working on it.

This may help from the Fierostore website:

Yeah, I tried to make sense of that pic, but it doesn't have any detail that helps.

try with this

Yep, stared at that one too. Problem is, it's mostly for replacing individual cables, not starting with a handful of pieces. But that diagram and a photo would probably do it.

sspeedstreet,

I don't have the magic photo of the connection between the cables in the cradle. Let me give you what I have and try to describe. Please ignore the messy garage. Trying to do a rebuild in a single bay stinks!

Just so we are clear which cable is which. In case you took the caliper mounting brackets off pay close attention to the orientation of the brackets in the pics


Here is how the drivers cable enters the cradle. Note the hole in the cradle that the outer cable end clips in to


The passenger side similarly has a hole the out cable end clips to


This is how the driver side cable leads from the caliper in to the cradle frame


From the manual. Here is the flow of the e brake cable from the handle


From the manual. Here is the connection. I wish I had a photo.

Thanks! I'll sit down with this diagram tonight with all the parts and figure it out. I have the left and right e brake cables installed. It's the equalizer assembly that has me stumped. Hopefully your notes will make it clearer.
