Fixing the Parking Brake - 1966 Mustang 

My first car was a 1965 C Code Mustang Fastback I bought in 1980, a few weeks after I bought it the front flexible brake line going to my front drivers side drum brake rubbed against the tire and wore a hole in it, making my lose my brakes coming off the freeway, I panicked, and immediately pulled on the emergency parking brake, and downshifted my car to try and stop it, I was lucky I did not crash the car, because it stopped in the middle of an intersection where it was red in my direction, and the cars went around me. I found a dual reservoir master cylinder and disk brakes off a 1970 Mach 1 and adapted it to fit in my Mustang, and used Stainless Steel flexible brake lines and adapted them to work. I highly recommend that you change your single reservoir master cylinder and get a dual master cylinder.

Thanks Andy My 66 is missing a lot of the components. I’ll be watching this when I reinstall it

As someone who is going to be the new owner of a 1968 mustang your channel has been extremely helpful and informative to diagnosing any issues that I might have in the future. Keep up the great work man!

That car lift is so neat. I love how you aren't afraid to tinker. With just about anything. Very great approach to life. That one bolt was so rusted into the car. Maybe try a torque screw driver? " I'm gonna have to come back to this one too" 😅🤣. You are so calm and patient on the outside. I wonder if inside you are the same. 🤣 another easy one??? Maybe for you🤣

4:52 is so relatable, you can hear the disappointment in his voice but he's also used to it lol

I see this has been addressed on VMF, but for those who aren't on there, those two vertical holes on the floor support where the parking brake spring was located is where the spring goes in. Just thread one end of the spring into the top hole and bring it out the bottom hole. That holds it in place.

Nice job Andy 👍

Good stuff Andy!

Tap the screw/bolt wityh a brass hammer, the harmonics loosens rusted parts. Have no clue but it works.

Another great video Andy. You always make it look so easy, and the tempo of your instruction is just right. Appreciate it!!

FYI...If you end up replacing the 1st section of cable..push the fire wall grommet in from inside the car! with engine and manual trans in you can't push it up thru from the engine compartment! Or leave the old 1 in place. Just replaced mine on a 64.5 coupe.

Thanks for the video it will be useful. Let me just tell you this: at least yours came with the spring

by far the easiest tutorials for my car lmaoo. first time owner of a 67 and i have the exact same problems lol

Great looking lift, what's its name & manufacturer ? Thanks Andy.

Isn't it amazing how long it takes to do a simple job like that maybe half an hour 45 minutes climbing under the car getting back out pull ing away back and forth back and forth. If we just had two people to do it it would take about 5 minutes or less. I know sometimes I try to get my son to help me do something but it's hit or Miss at best

I like your lift

the spring goes in the 2 little holes

Andy you mean people still use a PB

you put the spring in backward
