I want to get my emergency brake back. My mechanic says that I need a 'parking brake bell-crank'.
Any leads on one that'll retrofit back to the 1981?
Thanks

 

The one on my '83 looks exactly like the one on my "87 4Runner. I'm sure there are plenty of them from vehicles being parted out. You called always call yodajim and they could send you one

 

Thank you. I can't find him in here as a member? Am I not looking in the right places? It says no such member exists when I search yodajim.

 

I am not sure if he is a member here, but he does have a business selling used Toyota Truck parts in Colorado: http://yodajims.com/

 

Most often the Bell Cranks can be cleaned up

What you need for sure is the Bell crank bracket

What kind of shape arethe cables in??

 

Sorry I normally put a link to his site. Old87Yota linked the guy I was talking about. He has a Toyota salvage yard in Colorado I believe.

 

Cables are a little rusty but ok.

 

That picture makes me glad I live in Oregon. Looks like mostly surface rust, I bet those'll clean right up

 

You don't get rust in Oregon? lol

Yea, I think they probably would. It's at the mechanics, I'm not doing it myself. I'm just trying to find these parts for him. I need that emergency brake back working now.

I have called, left messages and sent an email to Jim's Toyota. No reply back.

 

In case he doesn't get back to me, any other suggestions on where to find one?

Would THIS fit? It's for a land cruiser

Any ideas???

 

Have you tried rockauto.com? JIm's should get back to you. Its a business so I'd assume they were closed for the holiday weekend

 

Last ditch effort a good fab shop with a laser cutter could make those pieces and a machine shop can make the pivot block. The rest of the parts you should be able to get a various industrial suppliers.

 

Thanks for the replies. Finally gave up and they took the old ones off, cleaned up and reworked em. Supposed to get it back soon.
HUNDREDS of dollars in labor,
I hate that but it is what it is. I have to have an emergency brake. Never felt good about getting out of her and letting her sit unless it's on a 100% flat ground. I ended up chocking the back tires every time I got out unless it was in my garage.
