Emergency Brake Pedal + Cables & Linkage | 1966-77 Ford Bronco SKU: 311300

Emergency Brake Pedal + Cables & Linkage Kit | 1966-77 Ford Bronco

Restore the parking brake system on your Early Bronco with a complete emergency brake pedal, cable, and linkage kit available for 1966-76 Ford Bronco or 1977 Ford Bronco. Each version is configured to match the factory-style parking brake linkage used for its specific year range, giving you the correct pedal assembly, front center cable, rear cables, and required linkage components.

Whether you're finishing a full restoration or replacing worn, seized, stretched, or missing parking brake parts, this kit takes the guesswork out of rebuilding the system from the pedal assembly to the rear brakes. Both versions include extended rear parking brake cables designed for stock suspension or Broncos with up to 5.5 inches of suspension lift.

Pro Tip: Be sure to select the correct year configuration. The 1966-76 Bronco version uses the factory-style equalizer lever and threaded adjusting rod, while the 1977 Bronco version uses a threaded front center cable that connects directly to the equalizer bracket and eliminates the separate equalizer lever and adjusting rod.

Parking Brake Pedal Assembly

The included parking brake pedal assembly replaces the original Early Bronco emergency brake pedal setup and mounts inside the left kick panel area. It restores proper pedal engagement and release operation when the original assembly has become worn, loose, damaged, or unreliable.

This assembly includes:

• Parking brake pedal assembly

• “Brake Release” pull handle

• Rubber brake pedal pad

Replacing the complete pedal assembly is a solid choice when old pivot points, worn components, or damaged hardware are keeping the parking brake from engaging or releasing correctly.

1966-76 Bronco Equalizer Lever & Linkage

The 1966-76 Ford Bronco version retains the earlier factory-style linkage system. The non-threaded front center parking brake cable connects to an equalizer lever, which transfers pedal movement through a threaded adjusting rod to the equalizer bracket and rear parking brake cables.

The 1966-76 linkage includes:

• E-Brake Equalizer Lever – Pivoting lever connecting the front center cable to the threaded adjusting rod

• Equalizer Lever Hardware Kit – Clevis and cotter pin hardware used to secure the linkage

• Equalizer Adjusting Rod – Threaded rod used to set parking brake cable tension

• Equalizer Bracket – Connects and balances the driver and passenger rear parking brake cables

• E-Brake Pedal Return Spring – Helps the pedal and linkage return fully when the parking brake is released

1977 Bronco Direct-Connect Linkage

The 1977 Ford Bronco uses a different factory parking brake linkage design. Instead of the earlier equalizer lever and separate threaded adjusting rod, the 1977 system uses a threaded front center parking brake cable that connects directly to the equalizer bracket.

This simplified arrangement eliminates the equalizer lever,  threaded rod and return spring found on 1966-76 Broncos while still providing the adjustment needed to properly tension the rear parking brake cables.

If you are working on a 1977 Bronco, select the 1977 version to receive the correct threaded front center cable and matching linkage configuration.

Front Center Parking Brake Cable

The front center parking brake cable provides the main connection between the pedal assembly and the rear parking brake cable linkage. This kit includes the correct cable style for the selected Bronco year.

• 1966-76 Ford Bronco – Uses a non-threaded front center cable that connects to the factory-style equalizer lever and adjusting rod assembly

• 1977 Ford Bronco – Uses a threaded front center cable that connects directly to the equalizer bracket, eliminating the separate equalizer lever and threaded adjusting rod

Replacing an old front cable can correct issues caused by stretched cable strands, corrosion, binding, frayed ends, or missing original components.

Extended Rear Parking Brake Cables

Both kit configurations include driver and passenger rear emergency brake cables. These extended-length cables are designed for stock Broncos as well as Broncos running up to 5.5 inches of suspension lift.

Original-length rear parking brake cables can become tight as suspension lift and axle travel increase, potentially restricting rear suspension movement. These extended cables provide the additional length needed for lifted applications while maintaining proper parking brake operation.

Replace your complete parking brake setup from the pedal to the drums with this new Early Bronco e-brake pedal assembly with cables and center linkage included.
