Thanks for the welcome, I thought so but I have been out of the Corvette Enthusiasm for quite sometime. When finding replacement parts for my 1973 Vette I just got to the point of that since very few were still available and the ones that were were price double or triple the costs I parked it in 1985. I back it out of the garage to dust of the dirt and charge the battery but other than that it has been sitting. Last fall I had the fuel pump start leaking and replaced it this last week. Backed it down the drive way and when I pull it forward a trail of rust was left on the rear right side. Since I never really did anything with the parking brake the cables are most likely rusted to the point that the shoes are stuck in engaged position. Since I still like and want to keep the car I thought maybe it is time to start working onit again.
Can you recommend any service manuals that deal with the parking brake system, I am thinking of replacing the cables and all if it is ia not that much of a job. The only draw back is that I don't have a hoist to get the car up to be able to work on it with much ease but that is how I started working on it in my Dad's backyard and garage in the early 1980's. Then a friend had two a 1969 and 1980. He has sold those for a 1964 Coupe but sold that and now has a 1971 Convertible. I haven't seen him since the early 1990's. I want to a body off restoration but just don't have the $$$ or an area to do it but for now at least I can start on somethings that are in need of getting repair.
Any information would be helpful in regards to service manuals.
Thanks,
Mike
