c1 parking brake cable routing

[Richard P.]

I am installing a new parking brake cable on 1961. I can't see how to route it through the frame up to the firewall connection. Any place I could see a picture?

Richard,
The ST12 has a great diagram of the routing of the cable.
See attached picture.

Thanks Bruce.

When mounting the handle under the dash, does the flange that bolts through the firewall on the end of the handle go on the outside (visible under the dash) of the firewall insullation, or was it supposed to go on before the insulation board??

Richard,
It goes on the inside of the firewall.
See attached picture from the 61-62 Assembly Information Manual (AIM).
The ST12 and the AIM tell and show you most everything about the 61 and 62 cars.
Parts catalogs also have some good diagrams.

I would guess that it goes in before the inside firewall insulation.
Hopefully someone else will answer that question.
