Parking Brake for Versailles rear end?
I'm restoring a '65 convertible that has a Versailles rear end on it. I bought it with the rear end already installed. My problem is it didn't have the parking brake and I don't think the stock one would fit.
Has anyone come across this before? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I have a 65 with a Versailles rear. For the emergency brake we got new Versailles cables and made our own extension to mate up the the factory equalizer. The new cables ended up draggin on the rear floorboard, so we used some copper tubing and made a sleeve for it to slide in.
The Versailles brake calipers have special little levers on them that the cables go in. Is it missing those?

I have brand new calipers with levers and hoses, new pads, new rotors, dust sheilds and the axle and caliper mounting brackets I am getting ready to sell.

Where did you get new Versailles hoses? I need some. I had to get mine remade by Hydraulic House. I'm talking about the little short ones that go from the caliper to the hard line on the rear end. They have little mounting tabs on them.

Any suggestions on where to go to find the cable?
