Ed and I have made and tested an incredibly ingenious fix for the most common failure of the articulating parking brake handle, where the flat spring breaks off the actuating rod.
Installation requires removal of the handle from the longitudinal but does not require any other disassembly. The repair piece is easily installed in minutes. Once re-installed in the car the repair is unnoticeable and works perfectly. I am prepared to do a group buy, minimum of 50, at $19.95 each, delivered. I'll figure out the added shipping cost for Canadian and European customers and I'll post those prices here asap. Credit goes to Ed (ejm) for the basic idea and implementation. I merely developed it into a convenient system for manufacture and easy installation.

is this the rod with the spring clip attached, a duplicate of the original nla part, Chris? We used to sell the HELL out of them, now just have a bunch of useless early hand brakes. Still have hundreds of the original factory rivets used to put them back together after installing the new rod. If you have duplicated this rod with spring clip, I would be happy to purchase 20 of them from you

That's a lot more complicated than one might imagine. This is a simple, elegant workaround. If originality isn't necessary you can't beat what we've come up with. The product will be so easy to install that the hardest part is removing the lever from the car. |

so can you explain what you have come up with and a picture of it? As I said, we have a lot of these handbrakes without the spring clip and would really like to repair them all

As I said, we have a lot of these handbrakes without the spring clip and would really like to repair them all I've already given as thorough an explanation as I intend to for now. Page 1, posts 1 and 19 have enough details to determine if it's something you would like to use. After that you'll have to trust me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
