I thought the zr2 cables was for the blazer rear disc swap. The ls1 brakes need to have custom ones made. Try asking Samdogmx, he's done the ls1 upgrade on his s10.

mine works. It works ok, but I still need to work out some bugs. I had one of the stock cables copied with some extra length on it, and the other one I just had the end changed.

turns out I didn't get them lengthened enough. I did 7 inches longer than stock. Should have gone for about 12".

Anyway, I called a place called Control Cables and they were real good. I think it cost me $70 to have one new cable made, and one cable end changed.

uh, other problem I have is the spring doesn't fully release the brake all the time depending on the weather.

Sorry, but I got no pics


Ooh, and don't forget to use zip ties.

Re: LS1 rear disc - emergency brake

Blazer e-brake set up is the same type as the ls1 set up -- they both have the same type of accuator and the cables off a zr2 or blazer will work.
