FJ40 Parking Brake Question

[toyofj40]

Well. I just started working on my FJ40 laundry list of fixes since my purchase. The list is long and getting longer.

First, I wanted to figure out why the emergency/parking brake seemed loose. Well.. that was easy, when I looked underneath the FJ40, there was no parking brake cable. So, I order one and when I went underneath to install, I noticed no brackets and/or anything to attach the cable to.

I've looked all over, but I can't find anything that shows how this is attached. I was assuming some brackets off the frame, etc. but nothing. Does anyone have any pictures and/or schematics for the underneath. This is on a 1982 FJ40.

Thanks in advance. Mitch

I think I may have solved some of my problems. I found a post/thread where someone ripped off the parking brake cable on a stump and posted some very good pictures. I've also been using some of the parts websites pics and diagrams to piece everything together. I guess its a work in progress.

I have a 80-83 rear axle housing loose from a truck right now if you need any extra measurements or pictures.

Here's the oem diagram. Read the FSM found here. That should answer every question you have.

Mounting tabs on the axle IIRC. Minor difference
