I am installing new parking brake cables in my 1963 C-10. The old one has a braided metal sheathing, and the new one (from Napa) has a rubber sheathing. The metal sheathing on the old one has a groove running around it at the end of the sheathing. There is a bracket that holds the cable to the arms that the axle attaches to. This bracket has two bumps that fit into the groove on the sheathing (to keep the sheathing from moving up and down the cable, although it is secured to the brake backing plate). The new cable's rubber sheathing does not have this groove. Is it OK to just go ahead and put the bracket on the rubber sheathing, or do I need to get a different bracket (or cable)?

This is all very clear in my head but I may not have done a good job describing it, so if I have confused you on anything I will try to clarify it smile

Thanks!
