E-brake Cable Routing With 11" Rear Drums?

    I have 11" rear drums with the e-brake hookup (w/ full float rear) and was wondering on how to route the cables.

    Also, has anyone converted the e-brake to a handle type between the seats?

    This is on a '67 CJ5 with V6.

    Following this one. I think for mine to become a wheeler I’m going to want to ditch the drum off the TC. The Rubicon trip has my attention.

    This is what I did. I used a lokar parking brake between the seats. This puts the parking brake only 1-2’ in front of the rear wheels. I kept the cables long and did a big loop and comes down alittle bit behind the rear spring hanger. It looks sloppy underneath but is tucked up high and has been working for several years and has never gotten ripped off by underbrush.
