[DeTomaso] Parking brake design

Hi all,

The mention of cooling hoses got me to thinking... my parking brake drags
on one of my coolant elbows a bit.  Not all the time and not enough to be
genuinely worrisome but... what the heck? Is there a TSB for this as I have
a pretty early car and maybe the later cars have modified brackets?

This really only came up because my modified oil pan has a very nice extra
drain plug at the front... which also conveniently collides with my parking
brake bracket.  I can fix this with a recessed hex plug but still... it's
very tight quarters in there.
