Default Hand brake cable/rod bracket?
Is there a ford OEM hand brake cable/rod support bracket to keep it from rubbing on where the rear radius rods bolt to the torque tube?

If it makes a difference I am using the early ford v8 garage’s brake hardware.

Here's a few photos of that bracket on my 40 coupe.
Since you're using aftermarket brake hardware, you may have to custom fabricate your own bracket.
Or, perhaps modify the Ford OEM bracket.

You are welcome. I don't think that bracket is welded to the torque tube. It fits between the two little ears that are welded to the torque tube for the radius rods.
