The rod will pass thru the "L" bracket and be secured with nuts on either side as per original. You can, of course, make your own version of the cable connector to transition from a ball to a rod. I have not tried this yet and am not 100% sure it will work. I know it will apply the ebrake but not sure the spring on the ebrake end inside drum will maintain tension so as to keep ball seated in 21125 on the release. I think it will. I may be trying this, or a hybrid of this, in the near future on my 57 Panel with a 64 12Bolt.
