I am struggling to figure out how to install the Wilwood E-Brake adapters that came with my kit. I have Wilwood brakes and IRS. The picture of the adapter in the manual shows a slot that would allow you to install the cable end. The adapters I have do not have that and I don't see how to install the cable end.

Below is a picture of what I received:
112448

Are there different versions of the adapter?

Thanks for any guidance you can provide. I wanted to see what i was missing before I started trying to cut things up.

Yeah, that's not the right part. The Wilwood adapter has a hole in one end that bolts to the e-brake lever. Then a slot that starts in the side and allows the cable end to be held in the end. Zoom in on these pictures (best I could find) and maybe you can see how the correct part is supposed to work. Note it may be necessary to open up the down leg slot slightly to get the end of the cable to slide through. As I recall, that's mentioned in the manual.

Thank you Edwardb! I was actually zooming in on your coupe build picks as well and came to the same conclusion, i think i got incorrect parts. I have lobbed a email into Factory Five so they will see it Monday AM and hopefully get some new parts out quickly.

In true Factory Five fashion, I received a response Monday AM and the correct parts will be shipped out very soon. Thanks Factory Five!
