1958 Cj5 Parking Brake

Question is “cane” or “T” handle….holes for bracket about 3 inChe’s apart.

Thanks…

This is how mine is mounted on ‘58 Cj5, only one mounting screw.

 

What years was the cane type used?

 

Thank you sir - T handle it is....

Cane was OEM on my '56/57.

But very easy to accidentally release with my knee when getting out.

Could be dangerous. I suspect that might be why it was changed.

The military e-brake between the seats is my favorite.

 

I've done that with the T handle type as well.

 

Was looking for the M38A1 parking brake handle (just curious), and found this. This is about 1/6th the price of a Lokar kit from Speedway: https://www.amazon.com/Street-Custom-Aftermarket-Parking-Center/dp/B076KYK22D/ref=pd_lpo_1 Might be a better solution than the pull handle, if it does not need to be an exact restoration.

 

I was at the local pick-in-pull the other day gathering treasure. I removed a center between the front seats pull up parking brake handle assy. For 5 dollars. Came from a KIA Sportage. Looks like it would be easy to modify for parking brakes. looks almost like the one timgr posted above.

 

I bought a NOS T handle brake from Debella because my original has a piece of the bakelite broken on one tip. It was nearly perfect until I dropped it and broke that piece off.

It is in serviceable condition and I think I still have the broken piece.

$25 plus shipping and it is yours.

 

Thats a bargain! The broken tip can be epoxied back on.

Should I double the price ?
