Mark IV complete kit, IRS, Wilwood.
Can’t get the cable to reach. Anyone else experience this? Could I have done something wrong?

Don't remember where it's at in the instructions. But yes this is a common problem. Factory Five has short extension pieces to close the gap. Should have come with your kit? Sorry not in a position where I can provide more info than that.
You can see the small stainless extensions Paul mentioned in this picture:

Where did this pic come from? I can’t find any reference to those pieces anywhere. You think someone fabricated that? Obviously it’s nothing challenging to create, just curious. Thanks

That picture is of my build. In my build manual, the extensions are mentioned, and the parts were in the misc. brake parts bag.

Ok thanks. Hmm. I don’t see it in mine at all. I’ll reach out to FFR and see if they have it. Thanks!

Was cleaning up some leftover build parts today, and found I have two of those spacer brackets I'm not using. Send me a PM with your name and address, and I'll gladly drop them in an envelope to you.
