Parking Brake Hook Length
« on: August 07, 2014 - 08:25:04 PM »
Hey, I have lost my cuda parking brake hook; the one that hooks onto the transmission mount; can anyone tell me the length so I can make a new one?  Mine is stored safely in my garage, probably.
1963 Dodge M37 (3)
1967 Dodge WM300 (2)
1971 Plymouth Duster
Bought new in '71; I wanted the Challenger but they were $2850; too much $ so I got the 318, 3 speed on the floor, Twister Duster for $2100.
1973 Plymouth Barracuda
I ain't done yet.

DO NOT BUY from Fine Lines (or Inline Tube..? and many others) as they sell the wrong parts.. and they are aware of it!  The part is correct from a Mopar parts seller... named Bill..???  He's the ONLY seller with the correct length part.  I had a post on this about 1-2 years ago.

Thanks for the info on the suppliers; but I think this part is too easy to make to actually buy one. It is just a piece of steel rod with the ends bent into hooks.  I just need to know how long it is and what the diameter is.  I could make one from memory but someone out there has the dimensions.

Here's my thread.. see pictures... the 6" length is too short (from "In-Line Tube"...?)... the correct length should be 7.25" overall.

Contact Bill Rollick Enterprises 201-394-5533.. he has the exact and correct S-hook... low cost.
