Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cable length of the Lokar EC-80JAGHT floor mount emergency brake cable?

The Lokar EC-80JAGHT floor mount emergency brake cable is 80 inches in length, making it suitable for most classic cars, trucks, and street rods where the parking brake handle is mounted on the floor between the seats. It features a stainless steel braided outer casing with a galvanized inner cable that resists corrosion and binding. Lokar includes the cable with the necessary mounting brackets and hardware for a complete installation with their emergency brake handle assembly.

Does the Lokar EC-80JAGHT cable work with GM, Ford, or Mopar factory rear brake cables?

The Lokar EC-80JAGHT floor mount emergency brake cable is designed to connect Lokar's floor-mounted handle to your vehicle's existing rear brake cable system using the included adapter fittings and equalizer bar. It is compatible with most GM, Ford, and Mopar factory rear drum or disc brake cables when paired with the correct Lokar cable ends or universal cable splicers. For custom chassis or aftermarket rear axle setups, you may need to order additional cable adapters or custom-length cables.

Does the Lokar floor mount emergency brake cable work with rear disc brake calipers?

Yes, the Lokar EC-80JAGHT emergency brake cable is compatible with rear disc brake calipers that have an integrated mechanical parking brake arm, such as those from Wilwood, Baer, or factory GM and Ford disc brake setups with cable-operated park brakes. The stainless braided cable provides smooth movement through the housing with minimal friction, which is important for caliper-based parking brakes that require more cable travel than drum brakes. Always verify that your calipers accept a standard cable end fitting.

What is included with the Lokar EC-80JAGHT emergency brake cable kit?

The Lokar EC-80JAGHT kit includes the 80-inch stainless braided cable, mounting brackets, cable clips, an equalizer bar, and the necessary hardware to install the cable from a floor-mounted handle to the rear brake cables. The mounting brackets allow you to route the cable cleanly through the transmission tunnel and along the frame rails without sharp bends that could cause binding. Lokar also provides detailed instructions to help you route and adjust the cable tension properly.

Can I cut the Lokar emergency brake cable to a shorter length if needed?

The Lokar EC-80JAGHT stainless braided cable should not be cut to a shorter length because the braided housing requires specialized tools to cut cleanly without fraying the stainless wire strands. If you need a shorter cable, Lokar offers the handle assembly and cable as separate components so you can order the exact cable length for your application. Measuring the cable routing path from the handle to the rear axle before ordering ensures you get the right length without modifications.

How do I route the Lokar floor mount emergency brake cable under my street rod?

Route the Lokar EC-80JAGHT emergency brake cable from the floor-mounted handle down through the transmission tunnel, then along the inside of the frame rail using the included mounting brackets and cable clips to secure it every 12 to 18 inches. Avoid tight bends below a 6-inch radius to prevent the inner cable from binding inside the housing. The cable should exit near the rear axle and connect to the factory or aftermarket equalizer bar that splits the pull to both rear wheels evenly.
