Parking Brake Changeover '65
« on: August 22, 2010, 06:58:12 PM »
Does anyone have an approximate date of when the routing of the rear parking brake changed from going through that small opening between the frame and the floor and not going through that opening. 

Also, I need some decent photos of how the older style is attached.  I sort of missed taking any decent photos of that section of the tear down.  :( The Osborn Manual shows the newer style.  TIA

At one plant?  Likely differed depending on that. And of course guess would have to cover plus or minus 30 days before or after since we don't have any records and the cars were not built sequentially

Thanks for that Jeff.  Perfect!
