    I searched and came up empty so I'll ask. A friend has an A-V8 with a open drive conversion on a 37 Ford rear w/ juice brakes and split wishbones. Any ideas on installing emergency brake cables to the original mod A handle? The cable seems to come out right on the wishbone. I was thinking of making an
    "eye" loop to mount on the wishbone as to NOT have the cable run across the top of the wishbone.

    i have sen them used to operate the cables. it keeps the cables out board, and if you mount the handle close to the original position it will work like it did.
