Application
Suitable for civilian and military jeeps equipped with the late-type internal expanding shoe handbrake mounted on the transfer case. This 2nd model cable was used on later productions that switched from the early-type to the improved internal expanding shoe brake system.
Installation notes
The cable is attached at the front to the handbrake lever and runs via brackets along the firewall and floor pan to the transfer case. Ensure the outer sheath is correctly secured in the intended clamps to prevent wear. After installation, check that the cable can move freely without kinking or excessive friction.
Compatibility
Please note: this is the late-type cable for internal expanding shoe brake systems. Not suitable for early models with external band-type transmission brake. Cable length and end fittings differ between early and late type systems. Check which brake system is fitted to your vehicle before ordering.
Historical context
The internal expanding shoe transmission brake was an improvement over the earlier band-type system, with more effective braking action and better durability. This configuration became standard on later military and civilian jeeps from the end of the war onwards.
