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.   |

QUOTE(Gatornapper @ Aug 5 2019, 10:01 AM)  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? |

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'm sure (and hope) he wasn't suggesting to tighten it so hard it couldn't rotate. Double nutting would work to leave some room. |
