aslanefe 333 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 As far as I remember, the parking brake goes through the toe board (not floor) into torque box and comes out of the torque box outside of the frame rail buy the gas line. There is a channel (like a slide) inside the torque box that guides the cable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casgar 21 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 As exact as I can measure on my -69 Fastback with no floor. Also in metric millimeters (+/- 1 mm), just because. :) 1 mwye0627 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

latoracing 256 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 Hopefully you'll find an appropriate sized hole in the lid of your torque box to size the hole, if not, a drill and a rotary file will get you fixed up fairly quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pictures latoracing posted looks like they are for a vert as it has additional inner rocker used on verts (or may be coupe or fastback he added the vert inner rockers). Use the dimensions from Casgar's pictures. On latoracing's first picture, you can see the 2 holes close to the frame rail on the torque box; inner hole (round one) is for fuel line, outher hole (D shaped) for parking brake cable (with a channel for the cable). 1 latoracing reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
