For those who aren't aware, I'm putting the Baer brake systems on my 67. At the same time I'm updating my rear end. I'm keeping the 8". Upgrading to a PowerTrax No-Slip locker, and 3.80 gears.
I started on Saturday. While my Baer kits won't be here for another couple weeks, I started on pulling the rear. Fun stuff. Been awhile since I had a project of this magnitude. Anyhow, the biggest pain in the azz were the parking brake cables going into the factory drum brake assemblies. I just could not get all three prongs depressed at the same time to pull it out of the hole. So I ended up snapping the dang things off.
So here's my question. I'll be stuck with the C4 for a few more years. And my brake kits coming currently will have no provisions for the parking cables anyhow. Should I just tear out those parking cables and worry about it when I go with the manual some day? I'm sure there may be a legal issue. But I'm not sure of the safey factor. I've NEVER used a parking brake with an automatic transmission anyhow.
That's about it for now.
