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

So is there a spring that tensions the pawl or does it just drop into the locking segment by gravity?

The spring is part of the rod. When it breaks you have to replace the rod to get the handle to work again, or come up with some other spring mechanism such as the bent piece in your top picture.

I couldn't create the spring, so I decided to use a small piece of compressed foam located behind the pawl, the whole thing is held together with electrical tape.
it works really well.
