Where is that adjustment nut located?Bought the conversion cables off of LMR. I’ll try to find the exact part in my purchase history. If I find, I’ll edit this post with the number.
On the ‘86, there is no conversion/ welding needed for the handle……. The new cables just have the correct end to attach to the new disc brakes as opposed to the drum. At the handle part, I’m using the original “t” or “splitter” whatever you want to call it. One connection from handle splitting to the two cables going to the calipers.
I can get it to grab, but there is still a slight roll on my driveway. Tighten the nut on the threaded rod gets it better, but at full adjustment, I still have slip.
Edit:
Here are the cables I used:

Not sure what the car has to be honest. I’ll take some pics when I can and also try tightening that nut.What parts did you use for the parking brake? The center cable is adjustable and you reuse the original equalizer.
Tighten it up a bit more. Put the rear wheels up and turn them. Keep tightening the brake up until they start to drag and then back them off slightly.
I’ve found you really need to get to the edge of dragging to get the parking brake to hold.
When brand new, the cables stretch a tiny bit as well. I had to tighten mine three times before they stopped stretching and held very well.
Here’s some pics from the back to front of the routing. Let me know what you think. I found the adjustment nut and it looks like it has some room for tightening so when I get the car off jack stands when I finish the suspension work I’m doing I’ll tighten it up and see what happens. Also, I just noticed this now, is that a aftermarket driveshaft cage I have or is that stock?What parts did you use for the parking brake?
