I'm attaching the emergency cables as per instructions to the handle, but have no clevis for attaching the cable to the actual brake pad side. I looked online and see all types of clevis, but all seemingly requiring cutting the flared end off to feed the cable through its end....if so, how do you reattach the cut end to the clevis not to come loose (separate)? Anyway of crimping an end piece back on to the cut cable end? Is there a tool for that? Or does anyone know where to get the clevis FFR supplies - or get them from FFR?

Not sure I understand your question. You have nothing to attach the cable to on the caliper? There should be a hole the cable goes through and the it slips into the open side of the clevis. This is assuming you have disc brakes.
You shouldn't meet to cut or modify your cables.

Mike,
I'm referring to attaching the emergency cable end to the lever on the emergency brake pad housing, not the main brake caliper. The lever will be pulled down when the parking handle is pulled. This lever needs a clevis (or something) to attach to the cable end. The lever actually needs a spring to keep it in the "up" position (emergency brake not engaged) as well.

The FFR supplied cables fit the Mustang rear calipers, that have a slotted attachment point. Here's a picture of how they attach. You're using Wilwoods so maybe you'll need an adaptor clevis and perhaps a special bracket? Jim12518

I had the same problem and bought some from, I think it was, Breeze. Give them a call at: 508.533.6455.

Addressing the emergency brake cable, I attached two images for reference. First, anyone know where to get the same type of clevis FFR supplies? Also, if I was to cut the tip off of the cable, does anyone know how to reattach the crimped end, or any other type of product to attached to the actual cable so I come attach via the clevis or even a bolt?
