Need help and parts for the parking brake cable

[jimtash]

My car is missing the entire center brake cable and I need and illustration of somekind to see exactly what parts are needed to attach the front cable to the center, and the center to the rear. I'm guessing there's some sort of bracket that attaches to the frame between the front and center cables but I don't know what else. Also, anyone that might have the parts I need, please PM me asap. I already have a center cable so I won't be needing that. Thanks, Jim

Jim-

You are right, there is a flat metal plate that pivots on one side of the X-frame. The cable from the parking brake pedal pulls on that, on one side. From that plate, there is a link back to a round piece that the rear cable passes around. This acts as an equalizer between the two rear wheels.

There is a drawing of it in the '63 shop manual (Fig. 9-4, pg. 9-4). You need to contact people who part out '63-65 Rivs to get this.

Do you have the manual and can you send me a copy of the parts diagram? It'd be nice to know how everything bolts up. Jim

After your annual dues to the ROA, the money you spend on a factory shop manual that is correct for your year car will be the best money you ever spent.

Here is the page:

Good luck with it.
