Hello and dumb question. I made one brake lever from two damaged/bent ones which involved drilling out presses at pivot points and inserting bolts instead. There is the little weighted thingy inside that has 2 sharp teeth which I assume have to catch onto something (on the car body I guess) to hold the lever up in 'brake applied' position until you press the button to release it? I seem to be missing a piece of this apparatus? See photo of intact brake level and another that shows a profile of the shark tooth. Also, why is the 1970 brake lever made of 2 pieces? Is that a hint to proper installation?
