We removed the old parking brake handle, shaft & front cable...
It had some red overspray on it (from a previous interior restoration). We repainted the bracket the correct semi-gloss black.
The old "pawls" were worn - replaced those.
New vs. Old
Now they ratchet properly.
Onto exhuast...
Removed the old (stuck) exhaust heat riser
The exhaust bracket at the transmission was replaced with a new one.
Old heat riser vs. new one
Finished it off with new exhaust tips
Looks & sounds great!
