1950 Packard emergency brake cable breakage

---|---|---|---|---|

My emergency brake cable (actually, I believe the more correct term would be a 4-strand wire rope) broke just about 2 inches above where it comes out of the shielded cable housing (I believe that it is called BX cable) under the dash. I have thought about trying to splice this wire rope rather than replace the entire assembly. There are cable splices and also steel epoxies that should solidify the whole connection. Would this work, or is there any other way to repair the wire rope? Thanks.

Thanks again for the previous post. So a friend and I tried the push back and down procedure at the same time, on both seats - no luck. We pushed as hard as we could. I guess it's likely rusted some and bent some so that the "tongues" are really stuck in the slots. I may see if I can rig some kind of jack to push harder against the firewall toward the bottom of the seats. But likely, I'll have to get it up on a rack and remove the chassis bolts from below. Any further info would be appreciated.

Dave, I'm not sure if the first response by you came through here, but I found this older post, and have the same issue - 1950 seat removal. I think you said to push down hard at the front of the seat (same for front or rear), and the back of the seat would raise up. Then the bolts for the backrest are exposed, and voila. I tried this on both the front and back seats; nothing happened, and I pressed hard. I'm sure I misunderstood or did something wrong, but frankly, I don't see how the front can go any down lower due to the solid bottom that rests on the floor. Is the cushion part supposed to go down into the base? Any further info would be greatly appreciated. Logan

'50 bumper bolts

Anybody know where I can get 2 horizontal (not round) new chrome bumper bolts? I think the originals were maybe stainless, but I'm getting the bumper chromed, and want them to match the bumper. It seems my only other option is to epoxy the existing bolts into the 2 holes and chrome it all together, but I'm not sure the chromers will do that, since the threads will have to be protected on the back side, a pain for them. Thanks in advance for any advice.
