E-brake Cable Lengths???


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, was there more than 1 length of e-brake cables for 1946 to 1948 PDCD. The reason I ask, my car was originally with a fluid drive, which of course would position the ebrake assembly further back then a standard and regular clutch, which is what I have now.

The ebrake cable seems a little long, I have adjsuted it to make it as short as possible, but there is still slight slack, when the ebrake is off, thus not giving me enough range of motion to tighten up the ebrake fully, when I pull on the ebrake handle. The ebrake band is set at .015 clearance, with a slight drag, as it details in the shop manual instruction.

Should I just tighten up the ebrake band slightly more, to allow the brake to engage better when I pull the ebrake handle, but it will create a little more drag on the ebrake band.............Fred
