While trying to adjust the parking brake, I happend to snap the bolt on the short PB cable. Any fix for this, or is replacement the only option?

Hi Jeremy,

Opps !!!

just get it welded back together , after you free up the threads, for that try some PB Blaster, works better than WD40 imo.

BTW: how's it running ? and did the Alt belt squeak go away?

No more squeel!!!!! She is running great, and as powerful as ever. Lots of fun, I wish there was a track close by.

The bolt that is stuck in the adjustment was twisted many times before it broke. I am thinking that it was why the previous owner never fixed the PB.

That said, I don't think welding it back on is a good idea. It could snap again anywhere along the bolt. I have some ideas in my head, but I will run them by you before I proceed.
