Hello All,
Trying to help another buddy on his '70 'Cuda. On the emergency/parking brake mechanism, there's the plastic/fiber retainer the holds the return spring in place so it doesn't go through the rod hole. Does anyone sell these? Or, is one at the mercy of trying to find an original and hope it is good?

Thanks in advance

correct ones are not avail.

cut the end off of an old firewall insulation pad nail and use it

Alan Gallant gave me the idea.

Just remove the pull rod, replace bushing and re-install the rod with the correct tube rivet ( I had the rod and spring replated at Dynamic Renovation )
Then bought the rivets thru www.rivetsonline.com
I have them at the shop if you need one
