My 8g drum to disc brake conversion

[Galante]

During my conversion, I was able to connect the e-brake cable to the inside brake mechanism but I didn't not install the c-clip which holds the cable from the back plate because I do not have the tool to customize and make hole wider. would that be an issue?

not really, i did Ruslik's setup and i was able to get his e-Brake cable in without using the C-clip to hold the cable. Just to make sure, i'd try to put it in anyway though.

This morning I put a zip tie there to hold the cable straight as possible.. ;)

if you get the disc set up from a V6 galant you dont need to modify the hole it will fit just fine. If you get the set up from an eclipse you will have to modify it as the cable will not fit through

I'm sorry Jason but after selling more than 30-40 sets, from what I heard from people (buyers) and even my own experienc I can tell that is not true, when I was installing my rear disc swap last year with G-spot, even though I pick up the setup from V6 Galant I still should have to make the hole bigger in order to install the e-brake cable. I took the galante's setup from a northstar white V6 (1999-2001) but as we can see from his comments he was not able to fit the ebrake cable.

^That's right! Rez sent me a disc assembly for Galant LS V6 but I still have to make the hole wider for the e-brake cable..
