When I pulled the tires off this weekend to bleed the brakes...found that the parking brake was not connected to the caliper on either side.
I have searched for the parts to connect the cables, but can't seem to locate them. |

Until you get the correct parts, you can just use a small bolt the size of the hole in the cable end........ Be careful to adjust cables so the bolts/pins just begin to touch the lever and not move it from their resting position more than 1/16".... GN Any reason this wouldn't work long term if it is not a show car? |

GN Any reason this wouldn't work long term if it is not a show car? Having the pin enables the end of the handbrake cable to rotate slightly as the angle changes when the cable is pulled. If you tighten a bolt though it won't be able to rotate. However saying that on one of mine did have a bolt with a nyloc nut on that wasn't done up all the way. It worked but obviously not correct. |

I have a ton of them if you need them.
Remember to set the pad gap also otherwise you can have a low pedal |
