Re: 67 6-luggers
6869704x4 -- I have to head to Cincy tomorrow but I used the original 67 ebrake system entirely. I did remove 3" of coils on the drum end with sidecuts--took a while. I shortened the back loop cable 13.5 inches and preloaded the 83 camaro calipers e-brake arms - but not to the point of unacceptable drag. I moved the trailing arm cable brackets---just made new ones--- toward the front for straighter transition. Let me know of any exact pics you want. Pics above show most all. Parking brake seems to work easiest if you apply the brakes when pulling the handle. They will never be as good as the drum e-brake but should pass inspection. Thus a parking brake....

Re: 67 6-luggers
I wasn't to clear in my post. I meant the bracket on the caliper itself. Maybe some pics of you installing it or from different angles than you have already posted, if you have some. I want to take a shot at making them. If not I can buy some from Blackbird.
I expect greater effort on the e-brake since I have the 68 hand lever style(you probably do too with a 67). I am mostly doing this to be street legal. Again, exellent job on the caliper mounting brackets. I cut some using 3/8 and just welded them to the housing of my 14b. Not as purty as yours.

Re: 67 6-luggers
I can recommend hilljob26 templates of which I modified to be in the forward horizontal position to allow use of oem e-brake. I am sending him his modified templates. Nothing actually needs to be added or welding on his templates to use.

Re: 67 6-luggers
I'm talking about the e-brake bracket itself. Is that what you are talking about?

Re: 67 6-luggers
I got my 6 lug front disc kit from Early Classic Enterprises.
Money well spent in my opinion. No one can touch their quality.
