What did you guys do with the ebrake after you did the Chevy leaf swap?

The write up in the tech section says that a bracket needs to be fabbed. Anyone have pics of how they did it?

I just swapped in an m50d so I pretty much need to make it work now.

Thanks!

I actually just pulled off the bracket I made for mine.


It worked awesome for years, but I just built sliders and incorporated a mount into it.

Youve got a manual transmission, your parking brake is 1st gear! If you are on a steep hill then put it in 4low so the engine wont turn and let the truck slowly roll. Ive been E-brake less for years and while Id enjoy it if I ever warm my truck up in the morning or if Im providing a jump for somebody.
 
Yeah it's a stick. And I usually just use 1st but in the case that I need to warm it up, or I break a driveshaft since it a trail rig, I need it to stay where I put it.
