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.
