I have a 42 1.5 or 2 ton firetruck that I am resto modding for a friend. The issue currently is getting the E-Brakes working, I believe that a piece has broken off or worn off the spreader bar that pushes on the brake shoe. Here is a link to a youtube video I took that shows the issue I am having. Trying to find parts is proving very difficult. Hoping to find the original dimensions of this part. I can then weld it up to the correct length if I can't find a replacement.
CHeck it out, let me know what you think.
Thanks a bunch.
Hoping there is a veteran old time mechanic out there who can give me some guidance.
