Parkin brake.

**Russo2** · #1 November 30th, 2011, 12:51 PM

The oldest piece of the puzzle finally gave way.
I really stand on my parkin brake or else it don't do much, well last friday I stood on it and about put my foot through the firewall.
I thought the cable has snapped, but it was the hanger/splitter that gave up the ghost. Now we have a problem, I can't find the parts anywheres online.
Any suggestions?

If nothin else I'm gunna try a long bolt in place of where the adjuster bolt pulled out and try it.
With the mazdogs tendency to slip little by little while in gear, I really wanna get this fixed.
Guess that's what the Pennsylvania parkin brake is for

I forgot about lmc. Durrr.
It's a disposable part, so I don't wanna go junkyard.
The piece hanging from the truck in the picture stretches to show when proper tension is set, and then it gives way and your are fubar like me right now.

its OK to forget
as long is not school work

Forget about that sometimes too.
Bronco graveyard has em for a little bit cheaper than lmc as well.
I'm gunna see what I can do about fixin what I have with a new bolt. Then get parts when money allows.
With the whole month of December off I should be able to reel in a couple bucks.

Well I got someone willing to sell me the pieces I need for 20 dollhairs and shipping. Life saver, I take back any bad mouthing I have ever said about steve83. I understand his reasoning behind how he goes about sharing his wealth of information.
Not even gunna piss with trying to fix it myself, gunna keep using the brick when needed and putting the t-case in 4lo to hold better.
Thanks for the help J.

so steve sold you one ?

and his reasoning ?

**Russo2** · #8 December 4th, 2011, 08:57 PM

Hasn't sold me one yet. I'm gunna look for a good one in the junyard before I get his.
His reasoning? He has a motorcraft one that's been layin around, doesn't need it and its cheaper for me. I suppose.

use your imagination and make one, thats the way we used to do it

I'm going to try it, but in order for the brakes to be adjusted correctly that part is supposed to be on there. I think I'm gunna use that adjuster part and just a new bolt. No time right now though. It's finals week.
