Rebuilding an early folding e brake handle. I think it has been posted but searched and could not find it
Has Someone reproduced that Long spring rod with the pawl on it. And how about that elusive spring that is not shown in the PET that pushes up the ratchet cam (16 in the PEt drawing)

Anybody know where to get it? Thanks
Check with URO or JP Dansk parts. They are reproducing parts. Do a search, at one point I found a complete list of all the Dansk parts. I think there is one for URO too. Maybe URO parts man will chime in.
Automobile Atlanta has new spring rods in stock.
I make a repair kit that keeps the pawl properly located without requiring disassembly to replace the broken rod. I had a thread to gauge interest in a group buy a couple years ago before George announced a fresh supply of the proper replacement part. Its not on my website but I have made a few of them.
Thanks guys. Have two folding levers of variable completeness. Let me get them apart, spend some more time with the Pet and get back to the board
I think this is the spring you are talking about https://900designs-container.zoeysite.com/parking-brake-spring-1
No, It's actually the one on the end of the rod.
OK Here is the best I can tell:
The push rod #3 releases the pawl #5 that engages the Locking Segment #16
A complete #3 Push rod I have Yeaa!!
The #5 pawl I have, but the #16 locking segment is gone from both of my lever assemblies. But I think it is available from Asse Bros (and maybe AA) and looks like the third pix
how this Locking Segment fits into the lever handle I am not sure and why is has fallen out/is missing from two assemblies that I have is a further mystery
But it still appears that there is a further spring, not on the Pet, that tensions the pawl that looks like the first picture Courtesy Mike Fitton post. This is the one that Chris at Tangerine has devised a work around I think.
Can any one with a working assembly confirm how the Locking Segment fits in and whether the mystery Mike Fitton spring is in there??
The rubber boot is listed at Sierra Madre but is NLA. I have an old beat up one that will probably work as a place holder.

Sorry for the stupid question but I've seen a lot of posts here about folding parking brake handles. What was the point or reasoning behind them?
Good question. I guess it was to fold the handle out of the way when entering exiting. A bit quirky, but if you have an early car and want it correct, gotta have one
I have a late one currently. Gotta rig an extension on the “cam” that operates the brake warning light, otherwise it works fine.
I have #16 locking locking segment. It just sets over the mounting hole in the base.
So is there a spring that tensions the pawl or does it just drop into the locking segment by gravity?
we have new old stock base handles with bushing, new old stock pull handles, new grips, new ratcheting gears, new buttons, new old stock rod with tension release spring clip, new aftermarket equalizer cables, new factory pins, and new springs and stop washers
