Woogeroo:
There are grommets in the holes in the carrier bearing cross-member, as evidenced by the Factory Assembly Manual. They are missing from my '66, C-10, thus the braided e-brake cable is rubbing and fraying where they contact the cross-member. I have purchased some tubing that I will cut to length and weld into the holes to spread the bearing pressure on the cable over a larger area.
I you have the luxury, take a look at a truck that has the assembly in place. Seeing an installation in person is invaluable compared to looking in a assembly manual. I have to factory corrent assembly in my '66, C-10, however I am a long way from home for a few weeks on a project assignment or I would take some photos of the various assemblies for your use. If you haven't figured it out by the time I return, I will e-mail you some shots.
Best of luck with your e-brake project.
