No modifications needed period. We make our living building cars & if we have to modify or re-engineer parts, our Profits dwindle. It's not all about Profit of course, but we like to eat too.

Do these cables just go to the cross shaft or do they go the entire way to a hand operated handle? My original foot operated parking brake is gone so I will be going with a hand operated handle.
