Default Narrowed rearend and no Ebrake now

I narrowed my 12 bolt 3" on each side. Made new tabs to mount ebrake cable. I re-adjusted the ebrake shoe inside the rotor a few times and if fits pretty good when I put on the rotor. However I still don't have my parking brake when I lift my ebrake handle.

Do I need to adjust the cable(s) down the line? where the cables go from 2 to 1 cable?

I tried to search, but couldn't find something that I have not tried.

Thanks

Lol I was in the same boat about a year ago.

You have to adjust the shoes to the point the rotor barely spins by hand/sounds like **** for it to work.

Yeah I have the shoes adjust all the way out and the rotor barely spins by hand. Still no go. the brake handle is still easy to pull all the way up. Any other adjustments besides the shoe and rotor???

Are you sure you relocated the lines the same distance they were stock?
