Re: New to me 1972 K5

OK.. back at it again … working on a parking brake and some fuel lines.
For the parking brake I have an E-Stopp actuator. There's a button on the dash where the cigarette light used to be. The actuator is mounted on one of the cross sills for the bed. I drew up a rear mounting plate and had it cut out of stainless steel. Two stainless bolts go through the sill and the other two sandwich the plate. For the cables I used some Speedway Motors brand 108" universal cables. The threaded ends and lever pulls fit my late model 2005 AAM 14BFF emergence brake perfectly. I will add some stainless brackets to hold the cables away from moving parts and out of harms way...
