Sure been having my problems with this buggy. Seems like the previous owner did a lot of bad things with the car. The rear brackets that hold the brake cables were cut off the frame. Then he welded a few pieces together and built one for the drivers side .The problem is he built it the same as the passenger side --wrong angles and wrong bends. I kept wondering why my brakes would not adjust . Had them apart about 6 times . Finally figured it out . Now I need a bracket off some old frame that has the right bends and tapers. Does anyone have an old frame around they can grind the rivets off and sell me the bracket?
This is the piece the cable end clamps to where the brake rod attaches to it. It was rivetted to the inside of the frame. Mine is bolted on since he cut the rivets off which I have no problem with. Someone please have a spare for me.

Will send some pics as soon as I get my printer working again . It doesnt look that good yet . Needs a lot of body work but I am dealing with a guy to do that . No windows -- no roof panel in yet (that is ordered so should be soon going in). I am hopefull that in time it will look like a car .--
Thanks for sending the info. Will let you know when it arrives
