Torino Drum Brakey: Parking Brake question-- DRAG ONLY

Ok well I got the rearend under the car and mounted and all that good stuff, one small thing though...

Does anyone know of a plug for the E-brake holes? If not how did you plug it?

This is a drag only car, with power brakes(for now) my old parking brake lines are SHOT( rusted and sheath is cracked in many places). I'd prefer to not have to reinstall the parking brake lines.

Thanks.

none that i know off. if you have a little hardware store in your area like true value, they have a bunch of plugs for misc. stuff too, but i still put some rtv on that to make sure it doesnt fall off.

you could also cut up the old cable itself to make a plug

Eh too lazy to fight with the old rearend if i dont have to... note the reason we dropped the money for a new moser 12bolt lol, thanks for the info though(couldnt find anything at the hardware store when i went to look before). Ill try silicone if that doesnt work ill prob just pull of the old cables cut them up and use them as plugs
