Parking brake help
Putting together a '69 project I just bought and need some parts to complete the parking brake. The diagram in the assembly manual and vendor catalogs isn't quite clear. Basically the small cable has 2 "eyelets" and I need to know what exact parts I need to connect it to the main cable.
Thanks

Those two cables with the eyes in your photo are not your parking brake cable. They are the anchors for the seat belts.
Your parking brake cable is one piece from wheel to wheel. At the centre you fit this equalizer

over the cable. The threaded rod on the end of the cable from the hand lever goes through the hole in the equalizer, holding it onto the cable, then two nuts are threaded onto the rod. The second nut is a jam nut to lock the adjuster.
