Default Parking break relocation
When I relocate the parking break mounting tab on my trailing arms for tire clearance would jb weld hold the bracket in place or do I have to find a shop that can weld ?

JB Weld will hold just fine. As long as you never pull on that handle between the seats!

You could make a bracket and bolt it to the trailing arm instead of welding it.

When I had my trailing arms rebuilt, I supplied brackets and asked Bairs to do this for me. The ground off the old ones, and welded on the new ones. They might have charged me $15-. Worth it in any case. Do it right!

Simple deal to do but, use a welder. From today in fact.
