Oooooh, I knew I'd hit a snag before getting the Coronet home. We ordered a new park brake cable for the right rear. First one was the left, sent it back, got the "right" cable. Except it is too short by less than an inch. One lousy inch! So, now the bracket is being modified to accommodate the new, "wrong" part. Should be done very soon!
I've noticed that nothing ordered anymore is correct. It's all shoddy parts, cheaply-stamped or pressed with inferior, unsafe materials, and/or simply unavailable. This doesn't apply just to old cars, either. Lots of factory crap for metric Challengers and Rams can't be had at all. The 5.7 Hemi head gaskets are the current part made of unobtanium.
This gets so old.
