E-brake setup 71 Jimmy

[71jimmy]

Hello all, just registered for the board but have been "lurking" for many months. This is the best board I've found and you guys provide some awsome info.

I've got a 71 GMC Jimmy that needs a little work, actually it needs everthing, but I enjoy wrenching which is a good thing.

Anyway, I'm rebuilding my e-brake setup. P/O had jacked it up so I'm not sure if I have all the parts. Just ordered new front and intermediate cbls from INLINETUBES. Having trouble connecting front cable were it comes through the firewall and connects to the brake assembly. It passes through a clamp that bolts to the brake assembly and then goes to the clevis pin. I thought the clamp when bolted down would prevent the cable housing from being pulled through when you pushed on the e-brake pedal. But it doesn't hold. When I push the pedal the whole cable including the housing just pulls through. Needless to say, no tension on the rear brakes. Is there something that holds the e-brake housing into the bracket to keep the housing from pulling through?

Sorry for being so long winded, appreciate all your comments/suggestions.

Thanks
