Hey everyone,
Since I am replacing the driveshaft/tranny/rear end in my 62 Lancer, I really would like to come up with a different solution for the parking brake cables that cross-over the driveshaft. I've taken a look at a few other cars that I have, and they all run down the sides of the frame rails and then junction near the rear end. I'm wondering what conversions others have made to fix this problem and what parts you used. Any pics would also be appreciated!
I finally got the old 7.25 rear out, and started to put in the 8", but realized that I didn't take the parking brake lever off the old shoe before it got tossed, so I'm short one lever. I've not been able to source it yet, so it might be a junkyard item. Always the little things
Springs are almost twice as strong as the old 4 leafs, so the next problem will be fixing the ride height. As I can't install the typical drop spring hanger to lower the front eye, I will most likely have to get the new springs dearched, or order a new set of springs. We'll see, one fish at a time.
Anyway, thanks for the input!
MJ
