    Dose anyone have a picture of the layout of the parking brake cable inside the driver compartment. I'm working on my 1972 Grabber.

    Pretty simple. It comes up through the hole in the firewall and goes directly into the parking brake pull handle.

    Hi, could you tell me the location of the hole. The parking brake handle and pulley are still mounted. The floor was painted with truck bed liner so there are no visible holes .

    Thanks
    Tony

    The hole is just below the pulley for the brake handle. The hole is sort of parallel and horizontal to the ground, not vertical like the firewall.

    How and where dose the cable clips attach ? It looks like it is a push in. 2 clips came with the cable that hooks up the parking brake handle.

    The clips fit into a recess on the cable outer sheeting. There is a metal area that is recessed that takes the clips.

    If you are asking about the pulley on the handle inside the car....it goes over the pulley.
