The bar that ties the front and rear cables to the anchor tab in the center is a hardened piece. I drilled mine to to get my '05 E brake cables to fit. Using lots of cutting wax, I managed to burn up 4 - 3/8" titanium bits on the drill press. I suppose it's hardened to resist deflection when the E brake is used. The other brakes look like they could be fabbed easily.
You mentioned an inspection. Does the assembly have to look like a factory installed deal? Forgive my ignorance as I have never had to have mine inspected.

No, I don't think so just as long as it works properly and dosnt look like its gonna fail or fall apart down the road it shuld be ok. Its up to the mechanics discretion some are more lenient than others.

So I took some pics today and they came out awful. My phone takes better pics but I can't figure out how to resize them. Next best thing is a sketch. Here's what I got before it started raining today. I can get more detail when it stops in a day or so.

Nice drawing, this will help alot. Its what i was planning on doing but yours is way better lol! I have a friend that can probably help me fab these up in the next week or two. Mine were cell pics too somehow just automatically resized them when i posted them maby cause its a different phone i guess. If you manage to get a picture of your setup on her that would be greatly appreciated but if not, no worries this helps getting me going in the right direction thanks!

Finally got around to building the E brake brackets on the weekend. Turned out pretty good and it works now. The only issue I ran into is that the rear brake cables could be about an inch longer I managed to hook them up but I had to use the hole I drilled for a return spring on the lever not the center hole so its a little off and pulls more on the right cable.

Not the greatest pic.. Its possible that this x-member is narrower. I ordered The cables from Inline tube and they had 2 choices for the 64 4x4 one was 56" and one was 57 7/8". I went with the 56" one because that's how long the old ones were Should of went with the longer ones I guess. I will probably just make a longer bar that goes from the cables to the lever.

This is exactly what I have done to accommodate the previous Dana 60 and now the 14 bolt with the discs. It has worked pretty well. I think that my bar has close to a dozen holes from the different adjustments over the years.

Thanks TANDAMAN,
Just spoke with Inline Tube and got the ebrake cable ordered, I was wondering if I was going to be able to find them.
Thanks again.....
