Abstract
A braking apparatus used to brake a vehicle has a brake actuator that actuates at least one brake of the vehicle through a cable that mechanically interconnects the brake actuator to the brake pedal of the vehicle through a cable shield tube that is anchored to a first anchor point and a second anchor point. The first anchor point is separated a fixed distance from the brake actuator by a base plate, and the second attachment point is separated a fixed distance from the brake pedal by attaching the second attachment point to a firewall of the vehicle.
