Anybody purchae a parking brake kit from Inline? I was wondering if the front cable came with the rubber grommet with the 3 tabs that held the cable as it passed thrugh the body hole?

Do you have a web site or link?
Quick search on Google came up with auto collision repair centers, no parts vendors.

At one time, Inline tube had an issue with the e-brake kits.  I think it had to do with the lenght of the main cable.  Quite a few people said that the supplied cable was too short.  If you have your origonal front cable, I would measure it and then verify what Inline tube sells just to make sure.

BE&A reproduced a grommet and sold it to Fine Lines.  You can get it through them or I think you may be able to get it dirrectly from BE&A.  I don't know if Inline tube's kits come with one or not.  The grommet was supposed to be a factory correct part but it looked different then my origonal one on my 73.  The origonal one was heavily corroded though so who know what it looked like originally.  It gets covered in undercoating so it really doesn't matter to me.

The grommet was installed on the front cable and the cable was installed on the e-brake mechanism before the assembly was installed in the car.  That means the grommet should snap in from inside the car.

The grommet is on the inside?     I have a boot on the inside also. so the grommet goes underneath the boot with the 3 tabs facing outward into the wheel well?
My cables are in good shape, just missing a few clips and the grommet.

Yes, the cable was already installed on the pedal mechanism before it was installed on the car.  The line workers just grabbed the mechanism and fed the cable through the hole from the inside.  I just looked at my origonal cable and the three tabs go to the outside.

What "boot" are you talking about?

I just installed one of these and the rubber grommet that the main line goes through in the wheel well did NOT have the metal tabs on it. It did, however, fit very snugly... after I chisled off some of the undercoating to allow it to grab the sheet metal properly. :-)

I noticed the metal tabs on the original grommet and wondered what the deal was but the new one supplied with the cable seems to work fine.

My plug and bumper kit came with a soft flexible boot that fits around a cable, that snapped perfectly into the hole. I just assumed that it was for the parking brake cable, but i could be wrong, it may be for the clutch rod, brake push rod, or accelarator cable.

That boot is most likely for the speedometer cable or the antenna.   The speedometer cable is about the same size as the E-brake cable so that's my bet.

I just bought the inline emergency brake cables and they did come with the grommet

Speedometer cable it is. i pulled my dah wiring and stuff from the box and the speedometer cable still had the rubber boot around it.  Thanks for the help.
