Handbrake lever mounting bracket on csx3000 cars
I have a question for anyone who has a 3000 chassis or has worked on them. The handbrake lever is attached to the chassis via two 5/16" countersunk bolts. There are two bushings/spacers that are part of the mounting bracket welded to a cross member tube that offset the handbrake lever to the right. Aren't these bushings suppose to be threaded for the two 5/16" bolts and not drilled 5/16" completely through. If you had to put a nut on the bottom bolt to secure the lever, it would interfere with the operation of the handbrake lever. If anyone is familiar with the mechanics of this area, I would truely appreciate your insights. Thanks so much. Regards
