Has any one had any experience installing one of the new emergency brake cables? We made the change to the clevis, reduced the size of the connection that goes into it so that part works but now have a problem that the emergency brake does not work. Can not adjust as the lever in the drum hits the bearing housing (axel). Tried contact where I bought it and they said that they have sold 99 of these with no complaints so I should contacti Stovebolt so here I am. Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?
Thank you

If worse comes to worse and you are unable to adjust them and you are talking about an A-D series truck, here are the closest to original cables I think you will find. https://store.fillingstation.com/detail/FS-392/Chevrolet_19471955_12_TON_PARK_BRAKE_CABLEMETAL.html

It's a 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton. I believe the cable is the same. Brought it from Chevys of the fortys
