The result of an early morning run to Summit Racing. The stainless lines and fitting that came with the MAX e-brake were metric. The only additional brake line we could find on a Saturday evening was 1/4″ standard line. This line was the closest to the OEM line we would be splicing. The Earl’s fitting would allow us to utilize the standard fitting on the 1/4″ line, and adapt it to the metric lines that came with the e-brake.

This is the OEM line that runs from the brake master to the ABS module. After the ABS module, it splits left and right to the rear, so we deduced that our best bet would be to run the e-brake inline here.

Stainless lines run in-line between the brake master and the e-brake.

The stainless lines then got run under the dash and along the transmission tunnel to the mounting point of the e-brake.

This is basically where the e-brake would end up. I’m trying to keep my hand movement to a minimum between the steering wheel, shifter, and e-brake.

Bumper back on, while Matt hangs the exhaust proper.

Final touches on the exhaust hangers.

Off the lift and ready to KILL. All she needs is an alignment and a wash.

We had to bleed the brakes like 5-6 times. Both manually and with a power bleeder. I thought the guys from Parts Shop Max were joking when they said you had to bleed it a lot. I gave the e-brake a couple solid pulls in the parking lot. It was raining, but it locks up like a champ!
