Parking brake question.

[Jeeper10]

My parking brake assembly is in tough shape and in need of replacement. I have the older style and was wondering if the newer style is a direct fit or if I need to stay with the original? Thanks all

The ratcheting mechanism on my old-style one is worn out.

I'm pretty sure you have to swap out the cable to use that newer style lever.

I think Gimpyrob is probably correct.

I'm making the same swap. I found all the necessary parts easily except the 5342-00-999-8591 Brake Cable Bracket 10883130, item number 26. I set up a followed search on ebay and one finally appeared about a year later. It is now powder coated and ready to install.
