M101A2 Park Brake Question

[txm37]

My M116A2 I purchased from GL last year came to me with out the parking brake levers. I have since modified some civillian dodge parking brake levers to work for now but I would like to find the correct ones. So I have two questions. 1) Does any one know where I can get a set? 2) I found some brake levers for a M335 trailer but the part # is different and they do not appear to have the pully used for the M116/101. Will they work?

Any help or leads will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

When I purchased parking brake cables recently for my 101A2's, I utilized Saturn Surplus and they also had the levers listed as well (however I just checked and they are listed as sold out).

Check some of the other vendors to see if they have them available. Don't know where else to get them unless someone has parted one out and have the parts listed in the classified section.

Thanks. I have seen saturn surplus' listing. When did you order your cables? I ordered from them back in March and the brake levers showed sold out then.

I believe I ordered the cables late March, early April but I don't recall if they were listed as sold out then or not. The cables ended up being too long and I had to modify the mounting procedure to get them to work.

Thanks for the info. The cables I ordered seemed long too but I just thought it was due to my using modified civilian dodge park brake handles.

If you ordered the cables as shown on Saturn Surplus per the TM numbers, they are too long at the handle end to attach to the stock location by about 3". I'll get a couple photos of what I've done on mine to make them work. Should be able to get those taken tonight when I get home.

Edit: Here is a picture of what I did to make the cable work. I have since picked up longer bolts and some shim stock to bring the cable back out to center line of the handle. That is one of this weekends projects. The spacer in the handle is currently 1" PVC sch 40 pipe, but is being replaced with some steel pipe as the PVC will deteriorate and disappear during winter use.

Thanks for the info and the pic. I did something similar to how you routed and mounted your cables.

Thank you, I was planing to do it the same way,but I like the way you crossed the cables, that way the cables would stay in the pulley and less chance of binding.
also I drilled 1" (to the front of the trailer) away from the hole in the frame.

If you look in the parts manual the correct length for the M101a2 is the E. Brake cable that is 69" but the 74" can be modified to work.

Has anyone found a source to get the proper part number in the correct length for the M101A2?

Or have you figured out how to shorten the cable sold by Saturn Surplus to the correct length?

Update: I found a pair on ebay that is the right length.
