E brake on 11.65 rear brakes

[Guy G]

Is anyone running an IRS with the stock 11.65 brakes?
Running into an issue with e brake cable setup. The cable doesn’t have enough room to mount as required without running into the lower mounting bolt for the caliper. And the bend you have to make creates a real bind on the cable..

Any thoughts?

I’ve got the IRS with the stock 11.65 brakes.
The cables travel down the center of the car and then does a 90º to the calipers.
I can snap a pic tomorrow if you want.

Did you have an issue with that bottom bolt for caliper?

when using these brakes, I countersink that hole and buy the proper bolt on McMaster-Carr.

No clearance problems on mine. Do you have a Gen 2, might be a bit different than my Gen 1.

I did what Mike Everson recommended. I have bolts if you need them but you will need to have a bit to countersink the tapered head.

If I can get the bolts from you, that would be great!
I can get what I need to countersink.
Did you run into the same issue? For a while I thought it was me!!
