Parking Brake Cable Routing

[mtgibby]

I am restoring the parking brake and cable on 2302.

The previous owner was generous enough to buy a new cable, as the old one broke at the metal joint that plugs into the casing. They also taped the "J clamp" to the assembly. I just can't figure out how the cable routes through the firewall and where the J clamp secures the cable under the car.

Does the clamp go through these holes in the transmission cross member?

The aluminum machined end goes into the tube of the hand brake at the fire wall. You should also have a j-nut on the hand tube, and outside of the firewall there is an oval looking washer wwith two holes in it. The larger hole slips over the end of the protrudiiing tube, and the smaller hole is where an acme screw retains the hand brake into the j- nut.

The cable then passes along the frame just behind the steering box there should be a sheet metal clip that is held in place by a bolt. Then along the floor about 6" in back of the gas pedal there should be two holes. That is where the j hook bolts the far end of the cable. There should be a flat square piece of metal with two holes, that goes against the floor, then the cable, then the j-hook up into the passenger compartment, and held with one nut.

Thanks Brad. Sounds like I'm missing a few bits. I will scour the Tubs-O-Bolts and see if I can find them!
