    Posted: May/26/2022 at 2:57pm
Finally getting my parking brake working on my '69 AMX.  I had 2 badly corroded drum cables that were frozen.  Actually found them on Amazon from Raybestos.  Also had no equilizer spring, so got that worked out.  Now I have no pedal return.  Does anyone have a picture of the spring attached to the pedal assembly, or a good description of the attachment?  The TSM is pretty vague about the spring and attachment.  I haven't actually tried to stick my head under the dash yet, as I am not a limber as I was 50 years ago, and I wanted some input before doing so. I haven't found an OEM spring replacement yet, but I don't think this is critical, so I should be able to find something aftermarket.  Thanks to anyone who replies!

Thanks!  That's about what I figured after looking at it.  I actually think I have a spring that will work.  There a a jillion pictures of early AMC and Jeep parking brakes, but they all have the spring missing.
