The brackets for the cables ahead of the rear wheels are not movable - and they're behind where my cable crosses my (single) exhaust, yet ahead of where the mounting spring is, i.e., no clearance issue with exhaust. You can see this on 51504bat's frame-off photo.



Hopefully he'll post a photo of his friend's car. OTOH, I'll probably leave the springs where they are - they haven't fallen off and my e brake works fine. I will check the hangars on my exhaust, though.

Photo from my buddy's car won't be until after he gets back from Bonneville.
