65 Park Brake Interchange

Does anyone have an interchange book?, I was going to refurb my 65 Park brake assembly part # C5MY 2780C
but its a little worn out and was wondering if the 64.5 -65 mustang or any other more commonly available assembles would interchange.
Thank you

I got some great advice from an older wiser guy who had a very correct 65 convertible restoration .He told me "Make it your own,you will have these old fuddy duddies who say this isn't right or that isn't right " "...
