Rear brake cable saddle clamps
 

Hi , I don’t know the correct word for these . But essentially the little saddle clamps with two bolt holes that locate/ retain the rear brake cable outer to the backing plate in an hydraulic brake system .
Who could be a vendor for these?

Is this what you are in need of?

For $230, I bet you could make your own out of angle iron, flat stock or "U" channel.

Yikes, I am not familiar with that bracket. Maybe all these years I have had the park brake mounting wrong . If memory serves me correct back in the early 80s we pillaged the brakes off a 42 sedan . I don’t remember it having the guide tube coming forward from The backing plate . But had these cast U shaped saddles with a large hole to fit over cable outer and small hole with shoulder facing the shoes to retain cable.
Maybe I need re education as to the correct location method for the e brake Securing .
This is for pre 39 V8s that have been converted to hydraulic.

my4dv8: Any chance of posting a photo of what you are dealing with?

Are the tubes sold by DRAKE adaptable to your set up? If so, you could make your own our of 1/4 brake line.

Sounds like you are referring to 78-2102 clamps. These were used to attach the parking brake cable conduit to the rear backing plates on 42-47 pickups. The were also used on the 37-38 cars to attach the cable brake conduits to all four of the backing plates.

Yep thanks @John R thats the item . Have spent a while searching and come up empty thus far. Any leads on a vendor ,If in fact they are repoped.
Am I better to change my method and use the little Thin split clip thing . It looks so frail.

Re: Rear brake cable saddle clamps
 

On 40 brakes that little thin split clip thing works . I even made one out of steel banding used for crating and shipping. The last photo shows the Lincoln tubes sold by MT Products that I cut down for use on the 40 Ford. However, I am not sure I am referring correctly to what you actually desire for your set up. Hope it all works out for you.

I doubt they are repoped. A couple of years ago, I got a pair NOS from Fred Wilner at Southside Obsolete 507‑332‑6789. Good luck.
