57 Parking Brake Question

[Ashley S.]

I am missing the washer that goes inside the "parking brake cable to firewall nut". Is there anything special about this washer? I don't want to buy the entire nut/washer kit since I only need just the washer.

Can anyone tell me about this washer?

Thanks for any help.

Well it's unique nothing else like it on the Corvette , it cuts into the glass as the nut tightens. Don't ever see them for sale , ask other vett guys if they have one.

Ashley, you might try Paragon Vintage, Grossmueller, Dr. Rebuild and some of the others who have original parts.

Good Luck!

My car was taken apart before I got it. I do have a couple of bags of screw/washers and misc items, but I don't really know what I'm looking for. I guess there is a chance I have it, but I don't know for sure.

Can anyone point me to a picture of the washer?

Thanks,

Ashley,

If you're talking about the "inside star" washer as shown in the pic, all you'd need is a flat washer that fits because the inside star doesn't show.

Bob,
You have given me exactly what I need. This picture will allow me to look through my hardware. If I can't find it, I now know what I can get that will work.

Thanks for your help.

Bob,
I wanted to follow up to this. I went by my house at lunch today and found the washer. Thank you again for the picture. I would not have been able to find it without your help.
