Parking Brake Handles and Cables
So I went to the junkyard recently and found out there are 2 different brake / parking brake handles. my z28 has the dual gear one. what would be the issue if i switched to the single gear style and swapped the parking brake cable with it?

*Apparently, some later cars were equipped with the adjuster. I'd check your car to be certain.

i tried looking in the factory service manual and nothing is said about the different styles. i have the self adjusting but i broke the lead end on the bracket where all 3 cables meet
