PB Trailing Arms + Parking Brake

Those of you with PB trailing arms, what are you doing for a parking brake?
There are no tabs on the arms to feed the cables through like the stockers have.
I thought about cutting the tabs off of the stock arms and tigging them to the PB stuff but if you guys have a different idea I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Jon

Re: PB Trailing Arms + Parking Brake

You should be able to work out something with the shaft collars from McMasters. Do a search on the forum regarding how some members are attaching the wheel sensors from Accuair to the tubular trailing arms using the shaft collars; you may find this to be a more reasonable option for mounting the rear parking brake cable to the tubular trailing arms. No welding required - just a little ingenuity.

Do a search on the forum regarding how some members are attaching the wheel sensors from Accuair to the tubular trailing arms using the shaft collars. Simply type "shaft collar" in the search engine, select the 67-72chevytruck.com radio button and select the goggle option. You may find this to be a more reasonable option for mounting the rear parking brake cable to the tubular trailing arms. No welding required - just a little ingenuity.
