When I got my 62 back in 2003 she had lots of "different" parts; not at all the way a 62 came from the factory. I have just replaced the front emergency brake cable and am now questioning the frame bracket. See pictures. The frame bracket appears to pull the cable to the side such that, as the cable goes through the frame to the back connectors, the front cable rubs against the side of the hole in the frame. If you look careful you can see where, over time, the cable has actually worn away some of the steel in the frame.
So, my question is: Is this the correct bracket and configuration or do I perhaps have the wrong frame bracket, maybe even in the wrong place on the frame?
I do see another hole in the frame closer to the front which, if it had the cable bracket, might align the cable better through the big round hole. Another thought is that maybe the front cable needs to be secured at it's end, at the large hole. However, when I push that much cable towards the large hole, I cannot get enough resistance at the back connectors for the emergency brake to even work. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance. Hal
