Mike, Thank you! There is no grommet in mine! That explains it-I will be ordering one shortly!

There's a round grommet located on the "front" of the "X" member where the cable passes through. They are readily available from Carpenter and others. I might suggest you slit the grommet and work it in around the cable. Otherwise you'll need to remove the cable.

While I was under the 1940 Ford today (changing the evil little rubber ball on the radius arm), I bumped the Parking Brake Cable Housing and heard a familiar rattle (a rattle I have heard for years but could never find until now). How is the cable housing supposed to be restrained in that area (where is passes through the frame? Is there a clamp or a grommet that should be there? As always, thank you all in advance!
