    Hello just have a question I have a gm rear end that I'm replacing the wheel cylinders in but I was wondering what people are using for e-brake. The car is a 49 ford coupe thanks in advance

    The stock stuff.
     
  3. Same here. Whatever came with the rear end.
    Two cables. Hook them up.

    OK so the rear end came from a 1979 monte carlo so I need to hit the junk yard to get the cable and release handle? ? Sorry if this comes off as a stupid question just never had to add one before and I'm getting ready to start driving this more thanks

    Check out Lokar. They have a nice, inexpensive set up. New cables, hardware and a variety of handles.
     
  6. Use your ford e brake system just connect the GM cables to your ford stuff.
     
  7. Doesn't matter much what the handle is. They are just cables.
