For reasons, I want a mechanical ebrake. Start a line lock tech thread if that is your solution as I will ignore those comments.
I've got two stock setups mated that don't engage enough to stop the wheels; FJ55 and 2000 E350 van. Here is the cables mated:
Left side is FJ55 cable fully pulled. There is zero adjustment there. To the right is the E350 cables. I might be able to push bracket further to the right to get less slop.
At the axle, I have the following:
I have never seen a 2000ish E350 van ebrake engaged so I don't know how it should look fully engaged vs "correctly adjusted" unengaged.
All parts aside from the brackets is stock. The left bracket is a temp bracket while I figure out how to set it up. Is there a lever I could do between the cables for better "leverage"? Is there a bolt style adjuster I can use to push either of my bullshit brackets outbound?
