Strange Dana 60 rearend with disc brakes - emergency brake?

Hi guys..

I've done a search for this topic, but haven't got any answers, so here goes..

I bought a Strange Dana 60 rearend with factory mounted disc brake setup. I later found out, that my original emergency brake cables on the car (for drumbrakes) won't fit on the calipers on my new rearend. I searched the internet, but I can't find them anywhere off the shelf..
I emailed Strange, and they told me that a business called Lokar can custom fabricate them for me, but I'm guessing big bucks for that..

Anybody have any thought or ideas on where I should go from here..?

Regards

Marck

those look like Wilwood disc brakes -  they will need the cables from Lokar -  not exactly big bucks compared to the rear end...      :Twocents:
