My car was previously a race car with a nice 2.0L engine and already had a 5 lug conversion when I got it. The rears I believe are just drilled 4 lugs.. anyway, my emergeny brake works - that is it holds the car solid from moving when I pull it up. Problem is, the handle won't stay up (keep those jokes to your self) by itself. I think it's missing the half round ratching parts. I never looked closely at it because I just assumed there was more to it because of the 5 lug conversion. Could it be I just need those ratcheting pieces...why would someone remove them. I need a schematic of the handle and ancellery items.

I had this happened to our 1974 a long time ago and it was the teeth on the handle had lost their sharp edges. I removed the handle and used my handy Dremel tool to sharpen them and also the stopper that it goes against and it worked fine afterward.
