I bought my 91 LX about 2 months ago and the previous owner had the 5-lug conversion done but never hooked up the E-brake. After doing some research online and getting input from you experienced fox owners I was able to get my E-brake installed and working perfectly last weekend.
During the install, I took some pictures at different points along the way. I also drew up a sketch in CAD and attached the pictures as reference. I'm hoping this will help some of the new members (like me) if they attemp to tackle this install as well.
In a nutshell you will need to do the following:
1. Modify your existing e-brake handle by cutting off the spring, welding the pawl in place on the second tooth from the end, and cutting of the top lip of the handle bracket.
2. Purchase 3 new cables. 1x - M-2810-A and 2x M-2809-A (LateModelResto for about $125)
3. you will also need the attaching hardware 2x E-clips, 2x M8 nuts, 2x 1/4" rubber insulated clamps
Attached is the diagram in JPEG and PDF format.
Hope this helps someone. Thanks
