Parking Brake

[MakinSparks]

After installing disc brakes on all four corners of the '73 620, have not come up with an amazing solution for reconnecting the parking brake yet. Used Isuzu rotors and calipers on the rear. Anyone been down this road yet?

Yes, I bought this kit that came with necessary brakes to use stock emergency brakes…

Thank you Socalman. Mine were installed by previous owner and did not include such things as E brakes I guess. Do you have a pic of yours installed showing the stock cables connected??

I don’t have a good picture right now. Will need to get u see it when I get some time…if you reach out to Kiel he can probably sell you what you need with pictures for install. That’s probably your first step…

Thank you. Looks like we may have very similar set ups. What size wheel and tire are you running? What offset?

You won't use the whole kit, just the cables and sheaths

Grab a set of those

 

Cut down the housings to before the cross member where the swivel thing is, run the passenger side first to where it ends off the swivel thingy with the doorman part in the splice thing, push the drivers side of the swivel all the way to the cross member when connecting drivers side brake to the swivel, tighten the cable as much as possible with the doorman thing to hold the end. 

 

Seriously, push the swivel towards the crossmember and probably want a second person to help

Uses from stock pull handle to the cross member and a little aft of the cross member. Don't lose the thing that falls out of the swivel thingy when you pull the drivers side cable out because you will need it

Could get a video later for better visualization but it's not pretty 🤣

 

But it does seem to work.

 

On a 73. The 79 has a different set up.
