Just finished the install on a Moser 12 bolt that I bought from a forum member. Everything worked OK except for the parking brake (LS1 brakes). The dust boots on the backing plate are shot and the pushrods between the brake levers and the expanders are missing. Anyone know where I can get these or will I be taking a trip to the dealer? My original rear has the older style LT1 brakes, so nothing will interchange.

Thanks

Looks like Dorman is making the boot now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dorman-OE-Solutions-924-243-Brake-Lever-Boot-/171419725739?_trksid=p2054897.l4275#ht_1165wt_1238
Still looking for the pushrods.

Yeah - I searched before posting. That's how I figured out there was supposed to be a pushrod inside the e-brake actuator. It looks like it's only available as part of a service kit that includes alot of parts I don't need. Any thoughts on who may have just the pushrod?

if all you need are the pins,you should be able to fabricate some out of rod. I'll dimension them and get back to the thread.

Dimensions would be great! Wagner makes a service kit that includes the pins (not the dust boots) but it's $35.
Thanks

Diameter is .197"(5mm) so 3/16(.187") rod should work fine.
Length is .796",51/64 is .797".
Rounded ends but not all the way to a half circle rounded.
Ends are 'polished' smooth to prevent an abrasive action.
Drill rod,because of its' strength and hardness would be ideal. A piece of 3/16" or 5mm allen hex key,because of their strength and hardness would also be a good substitute.

Thanks for the information - out to the garage right now to make some pins. Dust boots will be here on Tuesday.

Those aren't the correct dust boots for our cars. They will rip the first time you pull the E brake. Trust me I know. I bought 2 sets of them and they are a no go for our cars. I really wish GM would sell just the boots.
