The Advance Design series has a Defroster or Fresh Air Cable going to the left side of the steering column. I know exactly where it goes, even have the bracket in front of me. What I do not have is a defroster cable.

Can someone tell me why there is this large rubber insert in the dash bracket? Any other cable would just be nutted directly to a 1/4" hole. Thanks again!

Are you sure the bracket you are referring-to is not the parking brake release-rod bracket's rubber grommet (rubber insert)?

47-52 Advance-Design defrost vent cable with knob

54-55 Advance-Design fresh air cable

Presumably, the 1953 Advance-Design fresh air cable would most likely be the same as the 1947-52 defrost cable?

The one on the left is drilled and tabbed properly for the parking brake. The one with the big rubber piece on it is drilled for the defrost cable (quite a bit of difference in the mounting holes). I did nothing to the holes, they are original. I assume that smaller parking brake bracket will have a rubber piece mounted in front of it like the 53 has (very small rubber washer). My project for this purpose is 1950.

Could it be that the rubber one is for the "Warmer" bracket? I can see that making more sense. Then I am missing the proper defrost cable bracket. The holes are not the same between parking brake and defrost on the dash.

This is the correct bracket NOS.

Here is a complete original set-up and as you thought the thick rubber grommet and bracket is for the temp rod.
