|
|
Does anyone happen to know the threaded rod size and pitch for the parking brake cable? my cable snapped where the adjustment screw is located and I am thinking of trying to save it. I need to know the size and pitch so that I can throw a die on it and clean up the threads that I have left.
Thanks! |

awesome thanks! I was thinking of splicing the rod that I have left with a piece of ready rod that I have laying around like this:
Anyone have any other suggestions? I need to go somewhere this coming weekend and no local places have a replacement. |

Sure that will work, good as new. As long as the position of the splice leaves room to adjust the cable. Prob should put a jam nut at each end of that coupling nut. _________________
