() Date: June 26, 2022 12:15PM Hello Everyone, I just replaced my parking brake cables on my '65 (front to back), and I noticed that my car is missing the cable retainers for the underbody brackets (not the suspension "loops"). Has anyone tried a brake hose retainer or wire clip that you bought locally? If so, could you give me a part number/size/place you bought it? I'd order some from Clark's and be done with it, but I don't have anything I really need right now and I'd rather not pay shipping on something so small. Thanks if you can help!

() Date: June 27, 2022 01:16PM I just ended up finding two of these clips at the local Auto Value. They seem to fit well and I think they'll work. If I remember, I'll order the correct ones next time I have an order in with Clark's. 1965 Corvair Monza Convertible 95 4-sp. 1965 Buick Skylark 1965 Ford Mustang 1965 Dodge Dart 170 Wagon 1953 Buick Special Riviera 1963 Ford Thunderbird 1974 Pontiac Firebird Esprit Attachments: ![]() Re: LM Parking Brake Cable Retainers Posted by:

() Date: June 27, 2022 02:28PM Yeah, they didn't have them in the correct size (7/16" based on my measurement) at the two parts stores I visited. Clark's offers a wire clip as a cheaper alternative to the horseshoe clip, and my car is far from the kind of car where correctness is an issue. I'll order the correct clips the next time I need some parts. 1965 Corvair Monza Convertible 95 4-sp. 1965 Buick Skylark 1965 Ford Mustang 1965 Dodge Dart 170 Wagon 1953 Buick Special Riviera 1963 Ford Thunderbird 1974 Pontiac Firebird Esprit Edited 2 time(s).
