E-brake cable thing

[russellmarling]

I took out my e-brake cable and I seem to have lost the hanger thing that goes on the right front side of the frame and I can't remember what it looks like. Could someone post a pic of this part so maybe I can locate mine? If I can't find mine where can I get one?

2wd--not sure about a 4wd

not crawling under the truck tonite but it is either 3/16' or 1/4" rod about 4" long total with a curly pigtail on one end and a sharp L on the other. Unless you mean someting else.

[russellmarling]

Yeah I think that is it. It mounts across from the end of the e-brake cable that comes out of the firewall. Where can I get one? thanks for your help.

[dennislbrooks]

I am sure someone has one on the board---keep it toward the top until someone sees your post. One could be easily made --however it is probably case hardened to resist bending. Also easily done--after fabricating from rod, heat it red and dip in a bucket of water. Bending is over with at that point. Try ----- matt67350 if no one else close to you responds.

Found this thread after searching forever! I need this "pigtail" piece to hold my e-brake cable on the passenger side. I have the one on the driver side. Also I need the guide piece that is on the long rod from the passenger side. It looks like the e-brake cable equilizer in the picture below but is slotted to fit over the rod.

Hopefully somebody will have these! Thanks!

i believe you can get all of this stuff from inline tube

[JustLiveIt]

Here is the pieces I need. I checked inline tube and I don't think they have them. Hopefully I am wrong about this and someone will comment with a part number.

Yes i need the guide that goes on the end of the long rod on the passenger side in your picture. I have the rod just don't have the cable guide.

I am also missing the pigtail on the passanger side (not shown in your picture) as well that guides the cable through the cross member. It is a round piece of steel rod that goes through the frame but is bent at the end to form a loop for the cable to pass through. It looks like a pig's tail. See post #2 above. Post #2 shows the driver side but I need the passenger side.

Thanks for the picture! It helps clarify the cable routing for me.

Thank you to everyone who responded with offers to help me find these parts. High Speed low Drag PM'd me and he has sent the parts I need.

Gotta love this board and the people on it!

Is it bad that I don't have a "pigtail"? I've never had one in 4 yrs. Also, could this cause my pedal needing to go all the way to the floor? (It's adjusted correctly.

Sorry for the thread hijack. No I'm actually not sorry.
