Are the drum end fittings the same on a 12 bolt as on a 10 bolt please? I am trying to work out which cables i need to hook up the 12 bolt rear in my '41 chevy to the stock hand brake lever! Any pics or drawings etc would be a big help if you dont mind. Thanks in advance. Mark.
I swapped out a 10bolt for a 12bolt for a 67 camaro and it was all the same. Are the shoes and drums the same size? Im pretty sure they are the same. if they are different you could prob. just swap the parking brake swing arm thingy.
now that i think about it i did it on my old mans 68 chevelle too. with his i pulled out the c-clips and unbolted the whole drum assemble. installed the new rear end and reinstalled the old brakes back on. i didt it so i wouldnt have to disassemble the brakes other then the lines. hope this helps.
Thanks FL. I don't have a 10 bolt to compare with my 12 bolt, but it seems that i have found someone with a set of 10 bolt cables that i will buy if they will fit. I want to get it right as i dont have time to get it wrong - 4 weeks to the drags and i need to get my truck finished and mot'd!
10 and 12 bolt Chevrolet passenger car brake hardware is all the same (except for Impala). As for truck 10 and 12 bolt, I am unsure.
