Jordan Brake Controller cable routing

Would someone who has their Jordan mounted on the right side of the knee bolster please post a pic of how their control cable is routed to the adjustable pedal tubes?

Thanks,
David

I just snapped a few quick pics...hopefully they will give you what you need. I just finished installing it a couple days ago and haven't had the chance to hook it up to my trailer for adjusting.

Todd, that's just super! Thanks so much for your help. I didn't have to use the metal strip on my Durango. There were factory screws exactly where I needed them. I guess I'll have to use it on the Ram. I have the strip, but have lost the screws...off to Lowe's Hardware I guess.

Thanks again,
David

Hey Ive got a question for you? Do you have the electric pedals? If you do then you will need the other dohicky to connect to the brake pedal. If you don't already have it then you should contact Jordan Research to get one. They are real good about things like that

Got the bracket. I send my controller to Mr. Jordan to have the cable replaced. It was kinked and frayed a little from the set screw. He replaced the cable and sent it back to me within 1-2 days--no charge!

That man and his product are class acts!

It is important to note a significant statement in Todd's post. His GREAT pics are of the "adjustable pedal" installation. It is showing the collar that is mounted on the servo. Normal pedals use the slot shaped bracket. Good pics, Todd.

I really like that installation position. Easy to reach, easy to see and a straight shot into the bracket.

Yup, Mr. Jordan sent me the bracket for the adjustable pedals. That was my main reason for calling him. I just happened to ask about the cable replacement, and he said he'd do it for free.

Fiver, do you have your controller mounted/routed the same as Todd?

YES. Take a peak at my pics and you will see it.

Got the controller mounted yesterday! It was hard drilling the holes needed--head thing due to the truck being new. The job turned out perfect. The controller operation is actually much smoother than when it was in my Durango--probably due to less flex in the controller cable.

Should get to test it out this next weekend. First pull with the new Ram--heading up Black Mountain in NC. Nice LONG grade to help seat the rings!!

Thanks for the installation help!
