64 Parking Brake Lines
I am removing the factory transmission X-member and I am replacing it with the CPP tubular for a 700R4. I see that this poses a problem when mounting the parking brake cable mechanism. Is there an easy solution?
Thanks

Re: 64 Parking Brake Lines
Not sure about the easy part but, take a look at TR65's thread. Starting at post # 8. He has some pics of a parking brake mech. that he built. He is using a different trans, but maybe it will help.

Re: 64 Parking Brake Lines
ANother option you might consider, which I thought was really neat....
On a customers 65 Nova, we used a e-brake cable kit from Lokar. Really nice long cut to length cables, and the attatchment to the OG main cable. I was thinking of going this route on my Burban ...

Re: 64 Parking Brake Lines
Here are some pics of what I was talking about....
- - - - - - - I am not trying to endorse their product, but I just thought it was a really clean way of doing it. (however, it is available thru us ) The cable mount mounts very easily, and is small enough to fit anywhere. In this case, it was ran outside the frame connector, in line with the stock cable.

Re: 64 Parking Brake Lines
I bought a pre-made crossmember with the e-brake mount and added to it. Made just for our trucks.
http://www.bowtieoverdrives.com/cata...php?ITEMID=108 I canalbized the old crossmember parts from it. Used clevis pins, cotter keys, drilled, bent and made a brass bearing. I didn't use a spring. I have springs on each side on my rear disc brakes. Mocked up clears my 4L85E just fine. Yes I do have a powdercoat problem, my son suggested a 12 step program for me. |

Re: 64 Parking Brake Lines
Thank you for the complement. Lokar stuff is nice but I'm going for the semi hidden stock look. I also converted a 1985 c10 gas pedal with the cable. No more linkage. Modified the brake pedal, welded a 1985 c10 larger pedal up. But I have issues kept the old school pull up brake. Yep that's powdercoated too. Thank you once again. zpoppy
