1942 Emergency brake cable

[ralfstc]

Hey Huey,

Yes, I just ordered one of those from South Carolina (one of my favourite two Carolinas). Hard to tell from the photo, but it definitely looks shorter than the one I have. It's definitely a different design, so wroth having in any case.

Yes, there's not much adjustment and yes, It's a PIG pulling against the emergency brake springs to get the pin back in. I have spent quite a while looking at the clevis thinking "naw, no way Dearborn could design something you had to adjust before you attached it . . . "

Onward and upward!

Cheers,

ralf

yes, my thoughts exactly, but i have to think that i'm missing, as in misunderstanding, something...

frankly, i was expecting to see a true turnbuckle down there. you know, the kind with reverse threads on one end so that turning it one way pulls the two ends together and turning it the other way pushes them apart.
