Default E Brake upgrade.

Deano,
I just purchased the e-brake upgrade for my car (#956). The cost was $425. Call Mark Dove and he will help you out.
There is a fitment problem though. The new brake disc bolts in between the the driveshaft and the differential, the disk actually hits the body and wont be able to be bolted in place. I called Mark and he said that you need to cut the floorpan and reglass that area. I didn't want to deal with any 'glass work so I chucked the disc up in a lathe and shaved of 3/16". It fits fine now and the pads are still completely on the disk, I can even go a little more if I need to. You also need to cut the cabble bracket off of the frame, I have the trans and diff out off the car right now for the rest of the upgrades so it is a lot easier, I can't imagine trying to cut the bracket withe tranny in the car. It's also easier if you remove the trans tunnel, about a half dozen screws hidden under the carpet. E mail me or call me at (808)479-8508 if you have any questions.
Ciao,
Shawn C
