I know there has been many threads about ebrake brackets but I still have a few questions. I recently lifted my 97 2.5 inches. I tested my ebrake today and it barely works. I pull it up all the way and it will hardely brake the car. I guess I ??NEED?? to make the little ebrake bracket, or is something else wrong? If I do make the bracket, does it need to be really heafty steel or can I use some scrap aluminum that I have? Thanks!

 

BUMP.... i need an ebrake!

 

Anyone? Can I just adjust it somehow? HELLLLOOO??

 

On Schaefers website, it says that if you dont have a panhard drop bracket, your rear brakes will not work correctly. Could this be my problem?

 

Ok, well since no one is responding, I went ahead and made a bracket with my aluminum. Its almost 3/16" thick so I guess it is strong enough. I will put it on after the paint dries and I hope this solves the problem. I tried adjusting the cable, but no luck.

 

I can't speak for anyone else, but I have no clue what bracket you're talking about. Then again I don't have a 97 runner either...

 

Hahaha, at least you responded. I am talking about this bracket http://fastq.com/~sschaefer/misc.html

 

Ah, ok. I don't see any reason why your aluminum version wouldn't work.
