Okay, I've been asking this question on TD.com with no response so far. I really need some help here.
I am in the process of installing rear disc brakes from a 89 Shadow ES on my 83 Rampage. These brakes have the small drum assembly built into the disc for the emergency brake. Everything swaps over just fine, but I cannot figure out how to slide the spring on the Rampage cable down far enough to allow the cable to slip into the acuator arm. The diameter of the spring itself is too large to fit into the arm. I'm sure someone has had to have done this conversion - is there some trick to this? Is there something simple that I'm missing?
