Well ever since I restored all of the parking brake system last summer, there has been this one little, tiny thing that has bugged the s%^$ out of me. It’s that release rod flopping around in the, what once was, ‘D’ hole in the bracket. Making that nice snug precise ‘D’ shaped hole was the stumbling block on this part and the reason it dint get fixed the first go round.
Since the roads are, as Fred puts it, “white with salt,” and I don’t want to put the old gal through any more of that punishment, we were house bound for the day. So I took the afternoon and made a broach for the 1/4” ‘D’ hole and added another 3/8” of support with a brass bushing. Now it’s nice and snug and hopefully will last till I’m old gray. Wait a minute, I am old and gray, well anyway, last till I can’t drive any more.
Some pics for those that are interested, and for those that aren’t, just don’t look;
