parking brake equaliser (Page 1/1)
jon m OCT 08, 08:44 AM
Hi - I have found that the passenger side brake cable had seized slightly - so I have sorted the cable out But------------- Has anyone got any pictures of the Equaliser in position - More importantly of the Tang that holds the cable in position.
Unfortunately on the front page of this forum on adjusting the e brake topic the pictures have gone so I cannot see how the cable is seated with the Tang in position.
Many Thanks in Advance

Thank you vintage nut - I don't suppose you have a pic of the other side showing the Tang ?

I am looking to see how the passenger side cable sits with the Tang in position.

Many thanks for your help - Much appreciated

As an update - in the last 1/2 hour went to the car and the dreaded tang snapped off - Bugger
However as I live in the UK - when I order parts I always get a couple of extra items and fortunately I had a spare in the bag GM equaliser.

that said I Tried adjusting and only the passenger side is locking on - So I am thinking its the lever arm on the drivers side that maybe out by a quater turn.
which I will post another thread for this

as I said Much appriciated
