I have to replace the cables on my parking brake but the cross member of the frame has been moved forward a few inches to support the transmission for some reason. The brake parts that are bolted to the frame and holds the lever are too near the trans to be put back the way it was.
Is there a custom parking brake set-up that can be used? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 622 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 622 | It's just the parking brake? Get a 1 foot section of a 4x4 and throw it under the wheel when you park. Problem solved!  You haven't been a Stovebolter for very long have you?

I already have the new rear cables. I think I can set it up. Where could I see a sketch or picture of the 66 cables etc? that would help decide what's the best way to go.

The other thing you might be able to do is to extend their length with some threaded rod. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 120 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 120 | Thanks for the info.
I have it set up temporarly--if it works well it can stay if not its back to -- scratch head pace up and down take a break till the bulb goes on. | | |
