eldany1929 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 I have a Desoto 1947 Custom, and I need to know the length of the hand brake cable, and if it is posible, the path from the lever to the brake cylinder. Thanks Quote
_shel_ny Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) The brake cable goes to the band on the transmission tail shaft. Does not go to a wheel. On my Dodge the outer sheath for the cable was secured on the left side of the transmission. DeSoto may be different. The inner cable continued on from there to the back of the transmission. It can be seen here after it exits the firewall, curves down and runs past the bell housing. Edited October 13, 2014 by shel_ny 1 Quote
plymouthcranbrook Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Be aware that there are many different lengths for these cars and they do not always interchange. Try to find one that is listed for your car. Nice to see that shel ny posted the correct length for you. Edited October 16, 2014 by plymouthcranbrook Quote
