    Gennie E-Brake troubles

     



    Okay, the engine/trans combo I bought for the T Sedan already had a Gennie shifter, so I went ahead and bought a Gennie E-brake, and the Universal cable setup to adapt to a Maverick V-8 rear end... the problem is, every time I yank on the e-brake handle enough to actually lock the rear wheels, there is so much tension on the cables, it overrides the pawl on the e-brake handle and toothed quadrant, and snaps it back to fully relaxed.. I've tried taking the thing apart, putting the pawl and quadrant towrds the front of the car, I think I've tried every possible combination there is, and it still won't hold... WTF am I doing wrong here?
