Ford Racing Performance Parts Cobra Brake Kit
|
Two different sets of emergency-brake cables are included with the M-2300-K—one for the ’87-’92 cars, the other for the unique ’93. Installation was a straightforward replacement, which resulted in perfect e-brake operation. Oddly, our kit lacked a pair of springs, which function to keep the brake cables from contacting the inside of the tires. In fact, the part number had even been scratched from the master parts list. These are necessary items, so Brad modified a pair of throttle-return springs (seen here) to effectively perform the same job. It’s worth mentioning the FRPP instructions mandate a parking-brake hand- lever modification, which eliminates the factory self-adjust feature. The installer is directed to perform a small cut-and-weld job on the assembly, then fit a provided adjustable cable. Since our e-brake was now fully functional, we didn’t see the need to perform this step, and we have a hunch the ’93 setup may make this procedure unnecessary. On the other hand, if time proves the self-adjuster can’t compensate for pad wear or e-brake cable stretch, we can perform the modification later. View Related Article
