Help! Broken E-Brake - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

This is on an s14. I pull the brake and it comes up with no resistance. I peeked inside the center panel where the lever should pull the cable that engages the e-brake and the cable isn't connected to anything. (i assume). Now this is where i need help; I don't know where the cable needs to be secured.

So I'm thinking the cable slides right into the slot on the metal piece on the the lever. (left of cable) but i'm not sure so now i'm here. Any kinda input would be appreciated. Thanks folks!

Just take the center console off and look around or try a magnet under the carpet, it couldn't have gone far.

Nice avatar BTW.
