Control Assemblies

A parking brake warning indicator is part of the system, signaling to the driver whether the parking brake is applied or released.

An independent hand-operated parking brake control, mounted on the tunnel between the front seats actuates the rear wheel brake shoes through cables. When the handle is pulled upward, the primary and secondary brake shoes are forced against the rear brake drums. The handle is held in the applied position by engagement of a spring-loaded pawl and ratchet. The brakes are released by pulling upward on the control and depressing the button in the end of the control assembly handle.
