Exhaust vs. Parking brake
It's me again. I drive a 70 nova 4door.
83' 305 v8, full headers, 2spd pwrgld.
My current issue is the parking brake cable and the exhaust i'm trying to run.
Ive found a nice setup, but with the criss-cross parking brake cable being in the way, it bounces off the muffler/tailpipe and it makes a horrible metal on metal rattling noise. On the driver side it's the little cable connector, on the passanger side, it's the actual cable.
My question is, Can anyone think of something I could use that doesn't cost $40 and won't disable/impair the ebrake performance. I live in FL, so there aren't hardly any hills, but I'd rather do it to where it doesn't leave the brake useless.
I was thinking rubberized undercoating, but I don't know how it'll hold up to the heat or if it'll freeze the cable.
Any thoughts? I was thinking the Sparkplug wire/tubing loom that is made to withstand heat, but then i'd have to ziptie it, and that would make it useless!
There aren't any holes (subframe car) to ziptie the cable to either!
Thanks

Runs quiet, but rattles like hell.
Very sad to hear this
