Ebrake Mod

[Ghost]

I searched but cannot find what I'm looking for. There was a write up or two on relocating the stock ebrake cable brackets to get more length out of them. Anyone have a link to it? Oh yea it's not the one on Madxj either that is for the 97+ xj. TIA

I just made some new of the L brackets, cut holes in them, and welded them about 1' rearward. Then I took some 1/8 steel cable, attached it to the end of the old cable and the T bracket. Its kinda booty, but its worked for about a year with no problems.

I used a 18" piece of 1.5"x1.5" angle and bolted it back where the tub goes up behind the back seat, Used the torch to make the holes and some metric threaded rod and a barrel nut to extend the bracket. It rubs cuz I bolted the bracket to high but it works.

I can snap some pictures tonight. It rubs where I put the barrel nut on to extend the treaded section. The jam nut i am using to keep the treaded section from backing out has a washer on it and I need to grind it off, just havn't got around to it. If I had bolted it on a little lower I don't think it would rub. It isn't to bad but might wear through eventually if the e-brake is used a-lot.

I'll also post some pix. I fab'd a bracket that uses the seat belt mounting tabs to bolt onto. That along with an allthread extension works beautiful.

You need to get two right side YJ cables. Then it's just a plug and play deal
Simply remove old cables then install new cables.It works great!

I thought aobut that too. But I wanted to see my options!

Something like this?

Combined with the threaded rod?

It's been around for years in the free XJHelp pages (http://members.aol.com/Stvns/XJhelp3.html)

It may not be as flashy as a URF production, but it works.
