I finished the final test fitting for the parking brake cables for the rear Viper calipers. I will have these updated and available on the website this week along with the addition of the 4x4 Viper Brake Conversion Kits.
For those who want to maintain functioning rear parking brakes after your Viper brake conversion, these may be special ordered. These stainless steel cables are available in two different year sets (1997-1999 Dakotas/1998-1999 Durangos) and (2000-2002 Dakotas & Durangos). Price is $200, plus shipping for the two rear cables.
Here's some photos showing the stock cables laying next to the stainless steel viper parking brake cables, and a pic of them installed....

Possible to get those without the crimped ends installed? I would love to get these on my brakes. Nice work as usual!

I can get the outer sleeves in the same size and then the inner cable can be made to a custom size if that's what you need? I can get them without the ends already attached though.

Well, the factory size is fine. Just don't need the crimped ends on the side where they attach at the drum. They attach in a different way to the parking brake calipers I have. If that's possible. I will be ordering a set from you very soon. Like next week.

Do you have any pictures of the brake cables where they attach to the calipers? I'd just like to compare how mine currently looks to how yours is set up in case I might have something backwards. It looks like it's pretty much a one way deal but...seeing someone else's setup to compare mine to would be nice. So let me see what you got!

I'll see if I can get the wheel off and snap a pic for you. It virtually looks identical to this....

Tell me I'm just dilusional and that the bleeder screw is actually above the brake line, like it should be....

True, it is forward and slightly downhill, but I couldn't make the bracket any further back and still allow the parking brake cables to reach for those who didn't want to upgrade cables. I along with everyone else have not had an issue bleeding those calipers and getting the air out.
