Greetings everyone,

I am working through the parking brake right now and have run into a snag. the brakes on my 2017 GT sourced IRS don't match the instructions or parts provided to attach the parking brake cable to the brake itself. the position of the caliper doesn't even match the instructions

Anyone run into this one before?

Anyone have any ideas?

I believe you and I ran into the same problem. Take a look here (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?27544-The-40-Watt-Garage-9365-At-the-quot-House-of-Kleiner-quot&p=335899&viewfull=1#post335899) (I built a Roadster, so the cable length may be different)

The links to the 1st few photos are broken, but here are the pics...

I wound up modifying the cables that came on my "take-out" assembly. Unfortunately I do not remember what "option level" car the brakes are from. 141018
