Hi...discovered my PB release handle was only held in place with a cable tie today when I clumsily snapped the tie and almost pullled it off its linkage (I am a clumsy 6'8" 275lb fool... :P)
Anyway...the spring seems to be at the wrong side of the bracket, and upon inspection I guess a well placed washer will hold the spring behind the bracket and solve the problem...I was wondering, could anyone post a pic of an intact 1968 parking brake handle mounting bracket and spring? Just so I can check if there is anything else wrong or missing before I do this job.
Cheers,
Limey (Nick)

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

sure looks similar...yeah my spring is in front of the bracket not behind it, so the pull handle flaps around uselessly unless I manually push it back before I engage the brake. The previous owner never used the Park Brake........he used to hold it on the transmission brake. But..I live on a hill...... ;D

The handle is held on with a tiny roll pin. I got a new handle from Totally Auto and the new roll pin was included.
