914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ WTB: Parking Brake Handle

Posted by: florida 914 Dec 12 2013, 07:42 PM

I need a parking brake handle. I don't need the cable and such; the problem I have is the spring that holds the brake set. My car is a 1971, but unless I am mistaken later models will work as well (perhaps better). Shipping is to 97306. Thanks.

If all you need is the long large spring, it can be purchased new for about $5.

Maybe that's all I need -- I've never seen one taken apart before buying this car, so I don't know what's missing. I have searched Autoatlanta and Pelican for the spring, but don't see it. Where can I find it?

Thanks a ton!

This is the part # 901.424.543.00
SMC and AA both have it. There are usually two reasons why your brake handle may not stay locked. It can be a broken spring, or the ratchet and catch are not catching properly. Replacing the spring is very easy. The knob twists off and the spring slides out. You will find the spring and various other hand brake parts at this link:

Hope this helps,
