Reverse Lock Out Cable Bracket
My 69 had no reverse cable lock out to the steering column. I have purchased the cable and the two holding brackets that mount on the 4sp transmission. I can not find a bracket for the end of the cable that mounts to the stearing column lock out lever on the fire wall. It is not in my manuals and I can not it in any of the typical corvette parts stores.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also the cable has one end with a rubber boot. Does that go to transmission side or the stearing column side.

Here is a picture of the steering column mounting and the plate "N" that you need.
The plate should come with one stud permanently attached so that it sticks into the driver compartment. There is a second bolt "M" (the one on the left side of the plate) that is loose. You can see the cable, plate, and mounting hardware in the blowup at the top.

I am pretty sure that I scanned it from my 1971 Chevrolet Chassis Service Manual. That manual is pretty complete. The drawback is that it covers Impalas, Chevelles, Camaros, Corvettes, and Novas. So sometimes it gets pretty complicated trying to fish out just the Corvette stuff.
That is why I have written some of my papers on disassembly and repair of steering columns and other steering parts.
