Any 1 have the part number for the parking brake lever. It's the bar that hooks to the emergency cable inside the drum set. I ordered the parts to replace but no strut, adjuster kit or brake lever was included.
I have run into a bit of a snag. The upgraded Blazer brakes, the brake hoses look like they need to re-route differently than the original brakes. Seem too short the original way. I did order the hoses for cutlass not blazer. I ordered all brand new brake lines and proportional valve from inline, so I don't want to modify the new lines
Ran into a problem yesterday. My stock rims don't fit, they are rubbing the calipers and the lug nuts don't fit either. So I was looking into spacers and lug nuts, this work? I may just need to buy longer studs.
The Blazer hubs should be M12x1.5 lugs. I changed my rear ones to match as well, can be done on the car with 7.5" rear. You could try just putting washers behind the wheel to confirm how thick a spacer you would need to just clear the calipers.
Okay, my lug nuts look very similar to the ones post in the photo, have the stock rims on my 442. Not sure a generic lug will work with those rims. I am swapping out that 7.5 with a GN rear end, so I assume those are m12 as well cause my lug nuts don't fit on as well. Also since going with spacer those studs may be short, that I will have to measure
Perusing the Dorman website, I am assuming PN# 611-248 is your stock lug nut? There are several M12x1.5 options from them, go from here:

If you find one that works, maybe share with the forum.
As far as the studs being too short, there are longer ones available from Dorman too.
