I had to take out the early breakaway handle and put in a late one to get the car to pass state inspection.

Count me in for one.

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

As I mentioned above George, I'm not trying to reproduce the rod. 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

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)

Hey Chris
I'm in.
Other than that it works... is there something that reveals that it's not original ?

A 914 expert could find it. If carefully finished, no one else would realize it's not part of the original assembly.

For those who stumble on this and are looking for any install tips I did this yesterday and couldn't find a post where someone fit this to their car. Maybe I missed it. Anyway, here is my report.

I ended up taking the handle off. It's easy to do and makes working with it easier.

I welded mine. I'm not a great welder as I'm a newby but it worked ok.

Make sure you leave enough room for adjustment. I was worried I had fit mine too snug but a couple of turns of the screw and it works fine.

The pics in the instructions show the racheting segment removed to show where to place the repair piece but I welded the piece in with everything together to get proper fitment and I don't think you can install it after the fact.

I show it in the car exposed but if you still have the rubber cover for the lower part of the handle it covers everything nicely. I may paint it eventually but for now it matches the patina of the rest of the car :-)

I also just finished a very extensive fuel system refresh using Chris's SS lines and fuel pump mount. This is the first fill up after all of that work.

Works great!
