Dana 60 disc brake
I just put a Dana 60 with the elderado disc brake in my k5. Now I need to find what e- brake cables I need. I can make the factory right side work. But I am having a hard time finding the left side. Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.

why does the right side work but not the left? too short or just cause of the way the wire is ran? ive done the disc swap on my truck but just used 3/4ton dana 44 calibers with no ebrake so not really sure
i googled around for a bit with key words like "k5 blazer eldorado calibers" and came back with a bunch of threads about it. coloradok5.com has a ton of posts bout it but cant see pics unless you pay to be a member

What I have done a few times in the past when adapting oddball axles etc. is to use the factory cables from the donor axle, in this case, Eldorado parts. I then use regular aircraft grade steel cable from the hardware store as my mid cable, and attach it to the OEM rear axle cables with those U-shaped cable clamps made specifically for "wire rope" of that size. I use two per side to ensure it cannot slip. I then wrap the overlapping cable with black tape for asthetics...
I have done this on at least three different vehicles... all work well and pass safety checks no problem. This is by far the simplest method, and can be done for under $10 (excluding the OEM cables on the axle) with parts available at any hardware store.
