OK, After spending way to much time trying to figure out how to post a file (never did to many kb's) you can go to the american shifter web site, then to power emergency brake link and then at the bottom of the page go to downloads and follow the links and they will email you the instructions which has a wiring diagram and all parts with dimensions and parts numbers used in their unit (with detailed diagrams), I simply got on ebay and ordered their actuator they have in the breakdown, if I remember it was a 2" stroke actuator I got for 60 some bucks, this things really simple for most basic fabricators to make, the power of the actuator is pretty much dead on for my application as they have no torque limiter other than the strength of the actuator in the unit and the length of pull, there is no lever or multiplier in it. As far as cable I used lokars, the cable combiner is internal in the unit, I used 1/8" steel to fab the housing and it bolts to my frame with bolts that go through the back plate (also 1/8" plate), I used a face cover made from 20 gauge stainless. After you get the instructions you will find out no rocket science, it pulls with a window switch and thats about it using relays, nothing fancy really. I am not a Auto loc fan but the diagrams and instructions are top notch if your wanting to copy the stuff, I think they originated the "copying trick" anyway, you know what go's around come's around I guess. Let me know if you have any questions. Best of Luck Matthyj

Dave, Looks like your getting ready for the "fun part" Color!! Gonna look sharp!

I followed your path, found the download, entered my e-mail and received their message, but then after it verified my e-mail it gave an error, stating that the PDF requested was not found on the server. Can you perhaps attach the PDF, or scan it and attach as a picture?

Roger I think that will work, I converted them to jpgs!

Cool, and thanks! I've downloaded them and will print them out later tonight. I like the Electric E-Brake idea.
