You need to machine some bushing that go over the cable but between the body and the cable housing. I also had to remove the spring on the cable at the caliper end. I also feel it is important to solid mount the end of the cable housing at the caliper end. I machined some bushings, but wasn't happy with the fit, so when I get the car in the air again (between shows or after end of show season) it will come apart and get done properly. I am thinking of a split bushing next time, so I don't have to pull the cables out to put them in, but orientation of the split will be important to prevent binding. I still need to machine a cable housing mount to the caliper, though. The rotohub kit is what I used also, and seems to be the easiest and least expensive route.
