'40 rear backing plate E brake
Can you buy the E brake tube that the E brake cable goes through on the rear backing plate somewhere ? Prefer NOS or good used originals. Thank you Fordbarners.

However, you can purchase the exact this wall tube from McMaster-Carr (quite reasonable) and make a coupe rather easily.

Don't think replacement tubes were provided by Ford.
If originals are needed; lots of backing plates with good tubes are still around. Other options. Clings sells new replacements. Tubes are easy to make out of 1/2" tube. |

Re: '40 rear backing plate E brake
MT Products includes new E Brake tubes with their rear backing plates.
Perhaps they would sell you a pair separate from the backing plate without having to buy the backing plate. You could then cut them to fit. Worth a try. http://www.mtcarproducts.com/productsgrid.html |

Re: '40 rear backing plate E brake
Thank you. I figured I could make them from tube, and weld them in, but the "flare" at the end to retain the rubber seal might by a challenge.

Looks like Rich hit a home run. Do it his way.

Re: '40 rear backing plate E brake
The e-brake cable tube is available from MT Products (http://www.bolingbrothers.com/).
They were also listed in Bob Drake's catalog not too long ago.
