I am in the process of rebuilding the right rear brake drum back onto a salvaged backing plate, the hydraulic line fits into the wheel cylinder but how does the emergency brake line attach to the backing plate? I purchased the "rear cable guide" from Pepboys but it doesn't even fit around the head of the emergency brake line. Is this connector a piece that would have come with the factory plate? Also is the right and left emergency brakes identical? I appreciate any help, please post pictures if you have them or a link to the part I am searching for. Thanks in advance.
