Hello all: I have a small problem with the parking (emergency) brake on my '53.

The pedal won't stay down (engaged) when I try to set the parking brake on my truck. I've tried modifying the angle on the lock bar but that doesn't seem to help (just scrapes the paint off the connector bar). Shoe adjustment seems OK as well.

Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks!
