Emergency Brake Diagram

[AZ4x4]

So I have disc fron and drum rear with what looks like everything I need for my emergency brake. I just can't figure out how to cable it up. I am really tired of the E brake pedal flopping around and it woul d be nice to have an E brake. Does any one have a diagram or picture of how the E brake is put together? Thank you.

Beware the '76 and '77 are different from the others and even they are different from one another.

73 looking towards the rear. Had the trans out for a repair...

This diagram shows where the various E brake brackets are located that support the cables.

When I was building my new floor I transferred the old brackets to the new floor.

Here's a couple diagrams for you:

I always get a kick out of JAFO's hand written notes. It's hard to tell but they look like theyre either stained with blood or coffee!

I have a 77' and I'm installing the Toms Off Road cables now. The cable is not secure to the drum backing plate, do you know how I can tighten the connection of the cable finger clips and the plate? TY

Post pics. Is the cable too small for the hole? Or is the plate thinner than the fingers are designed for? Either way, a washer would probably fix it.

I think it may be both, the cables are a little too small and it needs a washer. I wasn't sure if using a washer would be critical or not, I didn't think so, so that's the way I'll fix this issue. Thanks

Here is a pic of what the cable end looks like inside the brake assembly. The pic was taken ten years ago, which was the last time I had the drums off.

Note to self - do a visual on brakes!
