CMP chev parking brake hardware
 

Hi, i am fixing the rear brakes on our missmatched CMP and apparently there is some missing parts in there to re enable the parking brake function.
Tehre must be a lever that attach to the shoe somewhere and other misc hardware.
I would like to get pictures if possible to see whats missing in there and potential sources for theses elusives parts, including the cables as well.

I have rebuilded cylinders on the way and relined shoes soon.

Bob..?

tia.

It would seem there is a little missing, agreed.

Hand brake lever, actuates from a pin at the top of the rear shoe.
Cross bar, which is pushed via the lever (above) making both shoes push out to the drum.
I cannot see if you have the cable guide, internal, I will dig out a picture of a rebuilt shoe set complete, this will help.
If the inner cable will come out of the outer, and the outer is good, it is possible to have it replaced.

Here is a picture of my rear brake for my F15A that I happened to have at work. Of course lots of pictures at home.

Regards,
Dale

awesome. thats all i needed.
yes i still have the guide parts.

i have the handle assembly from another vehicle but the transmission was the later muncie, my truck dont have the pin/pivot to fix the handle on the transmission top like the muncie, i am wondering how it should be then. any pictures from the transmission top/handle would be very appreciated as well..

thanks again !! :cheers:

Manuals
 

Hi Pat,

You should get a manual - Grant Bowker (on this forum) can fix you up. Folks are very helpful here, but to really get ahead on repairs and restorations, nothing beats having "the" reference book on hand. In any case, keep on trucking!

See if this helps.....
 

Hi Pat


I will attach a few pics that might help......

The first shows quite well where the emergency cable fits in...... I did not installed them on my truck as I have the emergency brake drum installed on my 2 speed T case. I later made and installed a small sheet metal cover on the hole for the cable.

E brake cables are available brand new from Mac Auto in NY state ... remember the brake system on the Chev CMP is all Ford parts...

THe E brake handle bolts on the side of the original tranny.......

If you need more info....... just ask.....

One suggestion ..... you may want to post on the "restoration section" next time to make sure you are seen...

I have a few old CMP trannies.....condition unknown.....

Hi Bob, thanks for the reply. Any part number i should look for about the cables ? is it macsautoparts.com ?
thanks.

Some civilian ones turned up on E-pay
 

Hi

Some turned up on e-bay a while ago, which are civilian, they were too long but might be material to rework. Try an e-pay search on the following phrase 194* Chevrolet brake cable
