Finally after all these years, weve got a working parking brake again!

I ordered a set of universal cut-to-length cables from Lokar, p/n EC-80FU:

These are pretty nice looking cables

The install is basically the same as any other pakring brake cable, very easy.  I managed to get mine routed way up high, out of harm's way:

The tensioner is nice & small, & mounted up high on the frame rail, where it wont interfere with the rock sliders i havent built yet
Picture
I made a small modification, that would allow me to reuse the original cable that comes down from the pedal assembly

With that done all that was left was to adjust the parking brake.  This turned out to be a pretty easy job to, now we just have to get this thing done and out of the garage so we can test it!
