I hate to jump in here on this old post....but KULTULZ posted a nice detail of the under car parking brake system on this thread , and I have a question on part number 2153 , which is the bracket that the parking brake cable runs through just before it attaches to the swing lever that pulls on the rear cables. If you look at that KULTULZ diagram you will see it. My question is if that 2153 bracket is a separate piece that bolts to the frame OR is it a welded on piece that remains with the car frame.???
I also am restoring a 55 wagon and ran into this problem this week. For some reason that 2153 bracket is missing on my project. I just need to know how to go about finding one. Hopefully its a "bolt on " piece and not permanently welded to the frame.
Of course if anyone has a parts car and would want to sell me that piece I would really appreciate it. I can always make it work , bolt up or weld on.
Thanks for your time and reply.
