I encountered the same issue on my 2006. I ended up fabbing(crudely) a new bracket with some sheet metal I had laying in the garage. Major PITA especially since that area is so tight but felt good coming up with a solution on my own.

I'm not sure it's completely necessary as I had ample slack on the e-brake cable that I don't think the install would have been hindered by keeping the cable in the OEM location at that point.

Thanks for confirming. For me the outer bracket location definitely wouldn't reach with the inner bracket still stock. I also crudely worked it out myself, although my solution was more zip tie and less metal. :P Will probably work fine, but I would definitely appreciate a working bracket from SBG. (Heath says they will make one once they can get a 2006+ car to look at.)

Any update on this as we approach ~2 months?

Nate Tempest

I haven't heard anything new from SBG. I assume they're still waiting on a car to test on. Hoping once @j.mart gets his car back we can arrange that.

j.mart

Agreed! I’m still tracking but unfortunately my car is still at the bodyshop. My new front fenders are proving to be much more difficult to get perfect than anticipated.

4 month checkup... They contact you with a proper fix?

Nate Tempest

No, I haven't heard anything back from them. I'll send a follow-up email. It does appear they're still selling the kit with no indication of the problem for AP2 cars, which is a bit surprising.

j.mart

Nate, I can finally provide an update here. My car is back from the bodyshop and I'll be dropping my car off at SBG tomorrow for a couple things. Chatted with Heath about this and they'll be checking out my car (MY07) to evaluate the bracket situation.

Nate Tempest

Excellent!

Since we're talking about this brake kit does anyone know if these will fit under AP2v1's? Do I need a spacer?
