    L-Body 11" Vented Rear Brake Question

    I have an 86 charger with the 11" 89 Shelby rear discs in the back. All new hardware brakes wise (calipers, rotors, pads, and ebrake hardware). I have never been able to get the ebrake adjusted so that it will actually work.


    When I tighten that rear adjustement screw that pulls both cables I either get the ebrake to come on but it gives some resistance when its off to it not working at all.

    Am I missing something? The only thing I have not changed is the centre e-brake cable assembly that would go to the handle itself, and the cables that "T" off to the new 89 Daytona specific ebrake cables.

    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    I think its your center section that is the problem. I dealt with the 'only one brake working' issue on my Rampage RT (11.25 RT rear brakes) and I had to adapt that silly looking swing assembly that the RT's have to properly actuate the rears so they both lock up. I can't recall what the stock L body center looks like(all of my L's were converted to discs years ago) but I don't think it has that side to side swing assembly does it? I'll snap a pic of the piece on my Rampage.
