Parking Brake Reconnecting Question
So just did a slave and master cylinder swap as well as fluids so I had to pull the rear end.
Now my problem is the parking brake will not engage (like at all). From a 1mph roll it will not stop the car. It has some tension on the handle but not nearly what it was.
The car was worked on by me and two friends so I personally did not disconnect the brake so not entirely sure I hooked it up correctly.
Anyone have any pics of a stock untouched one as well as how the line is run. I do admit that i didn't connect the metal square about 1 1/2 feet from the end to anything (pretty much because I don't know where it went).
Any help would be great.
Thanks

This is why it isn't working. You need to bolt the square piece back up to the bottom of the fiberglass tub. It is almost straight up from where the torque tube and tranny meet.
