Default Parking Brake setup on 77, please help!

Hi All!

Anyone have pictures of the correct cable setup. I didn't take pictures during my disassebly and the diagrams in the parts catalogs and my assembly manual are not the same parts?

Thanks in advance!

Which part of the cable do you need, where is connects to the brake or the center section where is comes from the lever?

Thanks Duke94,
Where it connects to the brake(your fisrt picture)
I will take a picture of my cable assembly and post. Mine is different from yours due to the bracket and bolt assembly, it will (I hope) make better sense when I post the picture.

Thanks Again

I could kick myself for not taking pictures before I started my project The part I'm having issues with is the "Pack Brake Equalizer" shown in the link you sent me.

I know it was all connected before I started(this is the 2nd winter of my frame off restoration) so I know it will connect again just can't remember

Maybe this picture will help you. The first picture (above) was my 78', this one is my 71' that has the seat belt straps. Is that what you have?
