63 parking brake parts
Anybody know where I can get parts for my 63 parking brake? I've looked through all the vendor catalogs and websites and I can't seem to find one that sells the part I need. I need the parking brake strut which run horizontally across the parking brake and attaches the parking brake lever to the actual brake shoe. I see the part in the assemblly manual but it doesn't seem like anyone carries it. Must be a 63 only part? Any advice is appreciated.

I just looked in the Chicago Corvette Supply catalog, good pic, good
breakdown. If you are talking about the parking brake bars these are a common chevy item. If you get stuck let me know, I have a few.

Corvette Central, Doc Rebuild, et al. Many catalogs sell these parts. Sounds like the parts you need are just generic drum brake parts. I'll find another pic. Chuck

That sure does sound like it thank you Chuck. That was the one vendor I didn't check. Funny none of the other vendors carry it. Here I was thinking that part would be hard to find. I'll give them a call. I wonder if the local parts store would carry it.

I've never heard of that supply company before. Do they have a website?

Here's the same stuff from Long Island Corvette Supply.
ZIP and others likely have the same things. Chuck
