1 The parking brake cable kit is a universal double-pull cable setup with all required hardware to get your parking brakes connected, sans any inside hardware (parking brake handle, forward cable, and so on).
2 The parking-brake cables...
2 The parking-brake cables will need to be temporarily removed from their jackets. Simply slide the cable out of the cable jacket and then pass the cut end of the cable through the clevis bracket until the ball end of the cable is secured against the inside of the clevis.
3 Reinstall the cable into...
3 Reinstall the cable into the cable jacket, ensuring the cable’s lock nut is in place on the cable jacket end before the cable is inserted. Repeat for the remaining cable assembly.

4 To install the parking-brake cable on the parking-brake assembly, slide the clevis over the parking brake actuating lever and then place the cable jacket end into the cable stop bracket. Tighten the 7⁄16-inch locknut to secure the cable in the bracket (some antiseize on the threads would be a good idea). Repeat for the opposite side parking brake.
5 Route the parking brake...
5 Route the parking brake cables, securing as necessary, to keep them away from moving parts and excessive exhaust/driveline heat. Find a suitable location to mount the housing end adjuster assembly and then slip the cable block over the cables. You’ll need to connect your forward cable to the cable block and then make final adjustments through the cable block.
Project Cost
In keeping with our first story that we published in our Jan. ’11 issue, we’re tracking the total cost of this Mustang’s suspension and braking upgrades. To date, the investment has been $12,195 for the power rack-and-pinion conversion and associated options/upgrades along with our Feb. issue’s coilover front suspension addition, our March issue’s coilover rear suspension, and our May issue’s chassis stiffening package. This month we add on TCP’s Wilwood brake package to wrap up our TCP project Mustang:
| Product | Part Number | Cost |
| TCP Street Front Disc w/ Drilled Rotor | WW 140-11074-D | $1,218 |
| TCP Street Rear Disc w/ Drilled Rotor | WW 140-7140-D | $753 |
| Stainless Braided Brake Hose Kit | 6329 | $75 |
| Parking Brake Cable Kit | WW 330-9371 | $120 |
| Previous Total | $12,195 |

1 Remove the shipping plugs...
1 Remove the shipping plugs from the rear calipers and install the supplied 1⁄8-inch NPT-to-AN adapter fitting into the caliper with Teflon pipe thread sealant. Tighten the fitting and position as shown. Install the braided brake hose but do not tighten the hose yet. Repeat for the other caliper.
2 Route the hose as shown...
2 Route the hose as shown and mount the retaining bracket to the frame using the supplied 10-32 button-head fasteners by marking the locations, drilling, and tapping to 10-32. Insert the inverted flare end of the braided brake hose through the installed bracket and secure with the included jam nut; then tighten the swivel end, ensuring the hose clears all suspension and moving parts. Copy the installation routing for the opposite side and then fabricate new brake hard lines to the rear of the car, using a T-fitting to split the rear brake line to the two new braided hoses.
