Ken Frey is redoing my brakes and he is also putting on a new parking brake system.  Apparently my "beloved" PO for unknown reasons removed the bracket the cable runs through that is on the front side of the wheel well on each side when he installed a 4 bag system even though it wasn't even in the way.

Ken will probably have to manufacture something if we can't find anything.  I was wondering if someone could go out to their coach and take a picture of the bracket so I know what it is I am looking for or even how to describe it.  Hopefully I can find the part on a parts coach someone has or maybe someone else has already manufactured the part and has it for sale somewhere.

Thanks,

If I understood Ken's description correctly, I would lean towards Bracket 2 but I will confirm with him tomorrow morning.

Jared,
Ken just put a stainless parking brake kit on mine, and Wow, what a difference. You will really like it. Ken does really nice work. I am fortunate to live a few miles from him. Let me know if you need any help when you come for your coach, either ride from airport or a place to stay. I have a level spot to plug in or a spare bedroom if needed. You are in good hands with Ken Frey.

Ken just confirmed that this is the bracket that is missing on each side.  Does anyone have any idea where I can find something like that?  Any part coaches out there that would be wiling to let that go?

Jared, There is a company that has a coach that they are parting out on Ebay. The name of the company is "Albert's Used Auto Parts" in Thomaston,CT. I called him looking for some parts that were not advertised on Ebay. He had them and offered them to me at a fair price. Shipping was fast and the parts arrived just as he had described them. You might give him a call and see if he has the parts you need. I got his phone number by googling his company name. Good Luck, Bob S.
