I've decided on the entire Ready Brute syten, and am trying to decide whether to install the system myself or pay a dealer to install it (they quoted $1,607 to install the baseplate, wiring, braking system, breakaway and dash light). Where exactly do you drill the hole in the firewall for the sheathed brake cable? I haven't inspected my truck yet, but am wondering if there is plenty of room to drill the hole and install the cable through the drywall and engine compartment.Cable is inside a sheath from front of car to brake pedal. Does not affect brake feel when driving. But some people do unhook cable at pedal when driving just to keep cable from kinking or something. I have ReadyBrake on my CMax and my New Ranger and have found them to be very reliable and effective. On my installations, I did not use their inner cable, replacing it with 3/32” stainless cable. If you don’t do that, at least thoroughly lube the inner cable’s full length before inserting it in the sheath.
Why did you use a different cable than NSA supplies with their braking system? Do you have the Ready Brute Elite tow bar in addition to the Ready Brake system. Did you install it all yourself?
