E-Brake Cable Too Short With 11" x 2.75" Drum Brakes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a dilemma. I installed all the correct components for the e-brake system but the cable is too short. The only thing that isn't factory is the 11" x 2.75" rear brakes. I think the issue is the horizontal brake bar (gold piece in the picture) is pushing the parking brake lever too far back which retracts the cable farther than the stock 11" x 2' brakes. Does anyone have experience with this?

I had this setup on my green '68 stepper and it worked fine, not sure why this doesn't work.
