Hi fellas, I am trying to install the parking brake in my 65 Belvedere but, can't hook up the cable end. It doesn't appear to be long enough to reach the clevis in the pedal mechanism?
I don't have the original to compare and I can see no way the floor grommet can fit over the flange on the cable end either. According to the FSM, the grommet should install down thru the floor/fire wall hole yet the grommet on my replacement cable installs from the bottom up?
This grommet is all rubber without the 3 tabs like the OEM grommet (which I also have in reproduction form). How could the reproduction, 3 tab grommet ever be installed over the cable end flange anyway? I has a steel insert molded in that supports the 3 tabs so no stretch is available to use. I could use some help!
