This weekend I replaced the emergency brake cable on my 69 GTV 1750. The old one had been broken since I purchased the car, and was hanging to the ground. I successfully installed and adjusted the new cable, which works great. However, I have a question about routing the cable.
I ran the new cable over the top of the passenger side rear axle. But running it that way puts it very close to the passenger rear coil spring. The cable could easily get pinched in the spring. For the moment I have it zip-tied to the top of the rear stabilizer bar, just to keep it out of the way of the spring. That doesn't seem like a good solution either. I don't see any mounting clips or any way of attaching the cable to the body. I'm wondering if there is something I'm missing.
Thanks. Tim
