Malo48 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Looking for a parking brake equalizer for a '41 Special. My cables were/are inop (and strapped to the torque tube to keep them out of the way), so I'm not sure if I need one that's specific to this year/model or if it's interchangeable with something else. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937-44 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 If the cables can't be adjusted any tighter because they are stretched you can purchase emergency brake cable adjusters to take up slack. Available at many places but here is an example of what is on one of my cars; https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rnb-03006?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-dorman&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIh-zH3L-Q3AIVnrbACh38gwEJEAQYBSABEgJ8nPD_BwE Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malo48 Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) I have brand-new rear cables which I just (partially) installed. The equalizer is completely missing, so I have no way of attaching the front cable with the rear. Thanks!

1937-44 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Sorry I misunderstood your problem. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with 41's. According to my parts manual Group 4.764 SHEAVE, Rear brake cable (parking brake equalizer) for 1941 would have a part number of 1308356. If that's the part you need it would fit 1939 to 1946 inclusive. You might want to give Dave Tacheny a call. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvelde Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Here is a photo of the equalizer on my '39 Buick. Taken when the adjusting stud pulled loose from the front brake cable, Pretty simple to make one if you wanted to.
