Chevies and e-brake problem
« on: Jun 16, 2004, 08:23:22 PM »
I got 63 inch chevies on my rig and my e-brake cable hits on the spring.  I thought about putting a longer bolt in the mounting bracket on the axle to get a little more clearance.  Does anyone know any cheap quick fix for this problem.  I got a trail ride next weekend and I have to have a functioning e-brake.
