Emergency Brake Question

    Once we pulled the tranny and transfer case out of our ‘55 CJ 5, we realized the emergency brake was not hooked up. Missing parts too.
    Since we want to do it right and have a working emergency brake system, which lever is the proper one to install?
    I’m thinking one is for CJ2A and the other one would be for the 5- correct?
    Thank you!

    The one on the right matches the ones on my '69 and '71 CJ5s:

    The one on my '56 looks like the one on the left in your picture (w/no second hole in the arm). If it's not too late, I'll try to measure it for you when I can get into some work clothes and crawl underneath in the next couple days.

    I could use one of those brake arms (doesn't matter which) along with the bearing retainer with the mounting stud for my '66 CJ6 w/D18.
    Custom parking brake linkage in the works. Anybody?
