67/68/69 cuda dilemma
L/H subframe connector progress and front emergency brake cable mockup. With subframe connectors I honestly think this is the best way to do this. I have seen people slice long slots in their connectors for the brake cable and I think that defeats the purpose of a subframe connector. I relocated the cable inboard of the subframe connector. This allows it to line up straight with the rear cable support under the floor, and run parallel with the subframe connector making a cleaner install. I did this same setup on my 67 and mocked it up with a 4 speed and Z bar and it cleared nicely. Cable fits a little loose in the 1/2" hole in the subframe connector plate, however that's by design. It's the same sized hole as the OEM. The cable uses a spring clip to hold the cable in place in the hole. I will likely add a rubber grommet where the cable goes into the crossmember at the front side to keep water and dirt out.
