Kerscher setup

Hot66 how hard was the Kerscher setup to fit? I have ordered the items and was wondering how easy it makes it?

Thanks

Steve

Here is what I did for my e-brakes with my aluminum arms. I welded up the actuator and notched it to accept the beetle cable. I norrowed the cable end from 14mm diameter to 12mm diameter to fit inside the trailing arm just like the 944 cables did. The narrowed section of the beetle cable end is approx 21mm long. Since the cables were a little to long ( might be due to the used e-brake shoes ) I added some 12mm washers over the ends of the cable to take up some major slack. That way I can just use the e-brake adjusters for the fine tuning. Here are a few pics.





I narrowed the ends to 12mm for a length of 18mm on the end of the "elbow" end of the e-brake cable. I used (2) 3mm washers to take up the slack in the cables and they help the cables sit flat in the trailing arms.
