Talk about modifications, or anything else associated with performance enhancements. Have a new idea for performance/reliability? Post it here. No idea is stupid! (please use Detailing and Appearance for cosmetic ideas)

Added a picture showing how to momentarily mount the caliper with bleeder screw at the top for accurate bleeding...

I forgot to elaborate on the e-brake cables! The clip on the insulated part of the stock cable fits into the hole in the cable bracket on the caliper, but the non insulated section is too long, so you can use a cable crimp or lock to accommodate it to the right length, then leave or cut off the excess.
Or, you could possibly adapt the cables from the brake donor car to your car, but I have not tried this.
