$130 bucks Lokar, $80 bucks Ebay..What's the difference?

control cable in santa fe springs ca. will make you what ever you want. very reasonable too.

 

Why would anyone want to spend $$$ for an emergency cable, every rear I ever got had them on it when I got em. A little fabricating skill and some cleanup /black paint they work just fine.

 

Just to save time in hunting down parts.
Every time I try to save money by piecing stuff together it usually ends up that I spend too much time hunting stuff down locally. When I try to do this online, shipping many individual pieces ends up eating into the savings I was trying to achieve.

I did a ton of fabrication when building this ch***is and fabricated a new lever
to give me enough mechanical advantage to be able to use the factory emergency brake handle. The Lokar kit had all the goodies and cables that were long enough to be able to route them correctly.

 

The Ford four-link rearend I installed came with too long a cable that did a big loop to the equalizer on the Pinto floor mounted hand brake lever. The transmission tunnel is very narrow and I was forced to use a twin cable ebrake system. There are some tight turns and limited space on my '36 Special Construction two-seater and the Lokar system is the best solution in my case. Not to mention the high quality which is worth every penny.

 

Things like this are worth the extra dime... IMHO anyway.


Flea-bay is a great place, but I doubt for the 35% off or whatever the price diff is, it would ACTUALLY be the exact same kit.

 

I have a Lokar E-Brake, I went to NAPA and bought a set of cables for a 72 Duster, ( that's what the rear end in my roadster is from ). Hooked right up for under 40 bucks. Lifetime warranty.

 

I converted to Wilwood disc brakes and had to go the Lokar route. No issues as yet. Everything works just fine. Good product and service.

 

Ill still save you money if you decide to go with Lokar, Just a fyi

 

Hmm?, I have a 2 X 4 also. I sometimes ask myself if 1 block is enough. We should have a few hundred of them to throw out the window so we can get stopped in case of an emergency.
