I probably have one. What years will work?

I have one from a 75 Matt. Same as yours. $ 20.00 OK?

You betcha Curt! I was taking a closer look at mine and I just don't trust it. Looks like the PO welded in some washers to replace the metal that rusted away. Now the washers are rusted through too. Paypal incoming.

Stevegm (or anyone else reading)- would you mind checking? Curt decided his were too far gone to sell so I'm still looking for a handbrake lever. I believe any 73 or later lever should fit. Thnx!

Matt, I'm amazed that an e brake handle is so hard to find. I guess they are all like mine. Rusted! They are in a vulnerable place.

Me too. I might have to buy NOS option. Here's a pic of mine. You can't tell from the photo but on the inside of the lever the PO had welded on a washer or two to try and repair it. It's rusting through so I don't trust it to hold the car on an incline.
