Many times in the past, I have seen new front brake camshaft lever rod housings (group number 5.135) for sale at swap meets, on eBay and through parts suppliers. This leads me to believe this is a part that had a frequent failure rate. There is nothing wrong with the ones on my car, but I am curious as to where on the parts the failures occurred. Does any one know?

Bill,
Most I have seen that fail suffer from the crumbly pot metal sickness, the others I have seen that are questionable have cracks where the cable goes in. While we are on housings does anyone know what the differences in 30-33 housing 357998 and 34-36 housing 374440? The Filling Station shows one housing, GR-201 for 29-35.
