yup, thats where I got it.  I don't remember if it came with a nut, but thats pretty easy to find since its a standard thread and size.

OK great I'll order one from them.  :2thumbs:

Right now I'm doing a mock up of the brake cable sytem on my car to determine where I need to drill the holes into the US Cartool frame connectors. I couldn't find the adjuster rod.

If anyone has pictures on the holes and cables already in place for a Cuda PM or e-mail me. E-mail is in my profile. I believe the hole locations could be different than on Challenger. Challenger has 2" longer wheelbase. Correct? So that may change the position on where to drill out.

Dave,(Farmboy70) sent me pictures but there were some cable guide brackets with a U, that are spot welded on the underside for the cable to go thru. My car doesn't have those. I looked all over for them. Could be a Challenger thing? Or later year?

Thanks Rusty, the picture with the adjuster rod showing how much angle should get me close on where to drill. Once I get the rod, then I can make a better estimate where to drill.

As you may know, the final cable adjustment will change the angle on the rod slightly. I have the disc and the chassis manual already, thanks. But the real pics do much better justice.  :2thumbs:

Welp, I went through the wind and rain into my shop. I found the emergency brake pieces and they were mixed up with 3 piece trans kick down linkage pieces. And I didnt see what you want. Sorry, it was worth a try. I would have given it to you...
