DIY E-brake?

Looked around but couldn't find a DIY guide to replace the e-brake. I just got a CF one and wanted a quick reference before I destroy something.

Thanks,

David

Check the B&M web site for their short shifter install...those instructions should get you most of the way...the last few steps will become obvious...

I actually did the short shift install on my car so i'll probably be good... just figured i'd skim over an DIY real quick to make sure I know exactly what steps I take.

just a tip...
In the metal portion of the ebrake, there are 2 blue or green plastic tabs that are used in order to attach the center console on top of that. They are rectangular in shape. Make sure you place them in the correct orientation. If you place them wrong, the rear console will get moved 1/16" to the right and back towards the e-brake and scratch the leather portion...

Thanks for the tip! i had everything on and trying to screw the console down and figured out I had to move the clips over. Pretty straight forward and man does a CF ebrake look good! Its a real PITA trying to remove the console with bucket seats and a roll bar!
