Does anyone know where I can find this? I’m not overly interested in a NOS cause I’m going to modify it for my electric e-brake switch so it seems like a waste to cut up a nice new one although if it’s the only option I just might have to take it. I would like to fill the last remaining hole in the dash with something that matches. I would need the entire assembly.
I have a question most PTO / Throttle controls were cable so how is that going to work with the electric E-brake set up?
Also the E-brake set up I know of were called micro - lock and it had a electric valve when on did not let fluid flow back to the master.
It used an electric switch not a cable.
Also it should only be used when you are next to the truck like old tow trucks and hooking up to a car.
It should never be used to hold over night as a leaking wheel cyl will lose fluid and pressure and could roll away.
I just dont want you going down the wrong path and have it not work or worst.
So how dose your setup work?

I'm not exactly sure what your entire plan is on your truck, but I'm going to make an effort to give you some ideas. A few lifetime's ago, I worked on a factory that built wrecker trucks. We had to install a PTO on the transmission of these trucks, and that also involved putting on a PTO cable to engage it. If you Google "Chelsea PTO cable", you might get some ideas of what you want. In my case, we installed an L-shaped bracket with two holes under the dash. One hole was for the PTO cable, the other was for the light that came on when the PTO was engaged. Hopefully, my post will give you some ideas on how your project will be accomplished.
Hey guys thanks for the heads up! A little bit of guidance is never a bad thing. That being said that picture I posted is from my f500 so I know it’s a cable. I used my choke cable to activate my dimmer switch. Here’s some pics.
As for the electric e-brake it’s an aftermarket device designed for custom applications that pulls on your factory e-brake cables. Here are some pictures of mine.
Ok ok I changed my mind I will take a nice one lol although I’ll put it in my f500 and use the worse one. I was hoping for more feedback but oh well I guess.
Ok now I see what you want to do and how it will be done.
I have not seen anything like the E-brake set up and you just need a on / off switch that looks like a factory dash ****.
Sorry I cant help on the ****.
Do you have a link to the brake cable set up would like to see it more.

Hey Dave just yo be clear I made all the linkage brackets and I went to a cable and rigging shop and had them crimp a threaded end on the cable to make it clean looking. The electric brake system wouldn’t come with that stuff although I haven’t checked them out in years so I can’t say what they have for options these days. the one I used is called eparking brake and is geared towards vehicles for people with disabilities. Here’s the link.
I under stand on the brackets, etc. and you did a fine job on it.
I just wanted to see what was used to "pull the cable" and it makes sense it would be for the people with disabilities never even gave that a thought.
Thanks for the link

Finished my electric e-brake switch setup except for I’m still looking for a black dash **** to match the rest so I’m going to have to go with a white one for now. if anyone has a black choke, throttle, left or right air cable please let me know. I just need the cable not the bezel and it doesn’t matter if it’s seized or not.
