Ssxa Posted November 1, 2025 Report Share Posted November 1, 2025 Anybody have a diagram or pics of how the parking brake is hooked up and routed for a 1973 1200 coupe? My car was missing all of the parts and I'm trying to get it operational. I bought a handle and know it usually uses a cable that ties into a junction with two cables that attach to the rear brakes. I don't see where the cable goes from the handle and how it routes out from the inside. Quote Link to comment
Morrisun Posted November 1, 2025 Report Share Posted November 1, 2025 http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Hand_Brake_Part_Numbers http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Rear_Axle This will give a better idea where the cables go. http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Leaf_Springs This one the picture at the top shows how cables are routed. Hope this helps, I would take pictures but rear end is out of my 1200 at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 1, 2025 Report Share Posted November 1, 2025 The 1200 handbrake handle cable goes through a hole in the floor sheetmetal underneath the car (below the back seat) Connects to the differential cable (#1) which goes through a splitter (#2, #3). The splitter is bolted to the rear of the axle housing 1 Quote Link to comment
