Hi just the springs on the park brake itself that goes on the tranny

Hi guys does any one have a picture of the hand brake under the dash .My problem is when I engage the brake then release it the inner cable does not go back in place I can pull the cable from underneath the car back in to place but when I use it again it seams to get stuck back out again. Is it suppose to be locked in some how any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks Ed

Boy do I know how that feels .I had the same question asked to me at a A and W cruise in this summer .My 23 year old daugther was with me I though she was going to die laughing. My ply is a 48 IM 57 It just makes your day dont it

Try the rubber boot in the firewall .the one on my 48 was dry and causing the rod to stick

Best of luck and a speedy recover from canada

Thanks too all who help me with the wiring prombles I have them working all most perfect I elimated the front parking lite promblem buy putting two more diodes in the turning signal wire .This elimated the parking lights from coming on when I applied brakes so now I have three brake lights an a faint turning singal light when Im applied the brake put I have a good singal when I not on the brakes , the front works perfect .So two diodes in the brake lights wiring got me the three brake lights and two on the turning singal wiring elimated the feed back in the parking lights. I think I have to get a new turning signal unit .for mine has only three wires and its worn out and has the old wiring Thanks again for all the help Ed

young ED MY brake lights get the power off of the back of my light switch.AND my turning signals get there power from the ignigtion.there were only three wires on the turning signals one hot to the flasher and right and one left . The flasher has three prongs one hot and one that flashes and the third one was to go to the hi beam light . This is the instructions I got with the flasher I bought . thanks for all the help ED

Has anyone everhooked up brake lights and turning signals on a 48 ply p15 my problem started last week . When I went to get gas some guy followed me in the gas station yelling at me that I had no brake lights . When I checked the centre trunk light . It was working but not all that bright so I got the bright idea to hook up both fender lights to the centre brake light by jumping a wire to both lights . that worked fine but now when I put on my turning signals all three lights flash I have tried every combination of wiring Icould think of with no avail. so if anyone has two or three working brake lights and turning signals I would appreciate how you did it thanks for any help Ed

Thanks everyone for all the great advice .Now ILL I have to do is get busy and do all the adjustments I need to do thanks again Ed:)

I have a 1948 ply p15 4 door and the door latches are still holding but they rattle and sometimes I have to use a screw driver to open the drivers door.I was wondering if there is a quick chance or a upgrade were you dont have to cut the door post or the door. Any help would be greatly appreciated
