E brake cable trouble

[birdnherd64]

I have the same issue with my 77 Camaro. With the caliper setup provided for the Drivers side, the cable wlll need to go through a J-Tube or the component would have to somehow be reversed. Is there a simple solution?

I tried to mount the calipers in the forward position. As you described, the E brake cable must make an extremely tight course reversal to get routed back toward the front of the vehicle to connect with the existing E brake cables. I got the shock relocation brackets and moved the shocks 3 inches inward out of the way of the caliper so I can mount the calipers on the rear of the axel. Doesn't look like that will work either as the axel flange is in the way of the E brake cable mounting point on the caliper.

So, where do I get the infamous J-Tube? Looks like I have to disassemble everything for the 5th time and mount the calipers at the forward positon after all.
