The front cable's tab has to be attached to the body, so I had no choice but to build a bracket (with the original tab welded in) & bolt it back to what floor was available. It's very solid, and with the 3 new cables connected to the new brakes that are lubricated & adjusted, it works well. All the equalizer hardware was sandblasted & painted. The only part not addressed was the e-brake pedal assembly, which seems to be working perfectly.
