I am in the process of converting to 911 ebrakes. I have done a search and there is lot's of good info and pics. I have done the grinding to get the ebrake hardware to fit the 914 hub. I have it all mounted. I have fabbed and welded the stationary piece that the ebrakes have to stop against. However what I can't figure out from the pics is what are the rough dimensions of the transition/bell crank piece? I have moved the OEM cable mounts so I know where the cable will end and I have left room for the swing arm to do its thing but my head is stuck on this bellcrank. Can anyone give me the dimensions of the pieces they fabbed? And what did you use for raw stock? I am brain dead on figuring this out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I too use oillite bronze bushing and washer in my design.
The GT car Miles Collier used to own also used only cables to actuate the e-brakes. The e-brake lever in that car was centrally located as well. The cables seemed to dangle quite low and run very close to the hot exhaust. I saw the Collier car at Mid Ohio in the 80's and looked very carefully at the unique things that were on that car. That's when I really started learning about the unique features of certain 914s. What were you saying about backing plates? (The pic is from the 80's) Got any pictures? Attached image(s)
