CUTLASS Emergency brake bracket/equalizer

[Marinizzle]

Hey guys, i'm putting a parking brake in my 84 cutlass and have all the pieces exept for this equalizer braket (photo was taken from another thread).
This is a cheap build and can't find the part under 60 bucks. does anyone know a good supplier that sells these, or how many Gbodies or other cars used this bracket? any replies are appreciated!

PM, 'O. D. Showtime' from this site. He's out of Regina, great guy, sure he can hook you up with something.

You can ask them how much to ship to CA.... but $17.95 USD isn't a terrible price. Same part number for Cutlass, regal, etc.

May not be a problem in Canada, but the fine thread 10mm adjusting lock nut is a pain to find in the US when you lose track of it. Ask me how I know....had to go to a junkyard and pull one off another GM...

Strange. Parts book lists an 11500760 which shows as an M8 x 1.25 locking nut. Did they get it wrong? Interchange number is 11516071, which is a prevailing torque nut without insert (has fugged up threads)

I thought the M8 x 1.0 was a fine thread.

Interestingly, the standard parts book doesn't even show an M8 x 1.0 prevailing torque nut anywhere.

Metric prevailing torque lock nuts are pretty easy to get from belmetric.com

I don’t live down the street from belmetric. On a Sunday afternoon when a $0.60 nut is holding me back from finishing the job, and three hardware stores don’t stock that little gem...😠

Well, problem would be solved if you could just hang on to your nuts......

Problem is that they are no longer attached...

Any tractor dealers in your area ? Before I found belmetric I was buying grade 10.9 hardware from a local John Deere dealership.
