OK, my hand brake has always worked by friction, and the ratchet has only ever engaged once (on the freeway, stuck in traffic, embarassing). I need to get it working right to pass the Roadworthy inspection when I finally register the 914.
So, how does the early lever work to engage the ratchet? Should there be a spring in there? (other than the sping on the push rod) Has anyone got a photo of the parts? PET doesn't really show it too clearly. Thanks. |

MIne is a 71 and just has the push rod straight to the ratchet. The other toothed part is bolted to the body and dosen't move. If you push the button and the handel just bends on the way back down then you need the rubber boot which goes over the whole deal. This keeps the handel straight and allows you to return the handel back to the bottom. I destroyed my boot and decided to take the easy approach by tack welding the two halves of the handel together since I might put a leather handel cover later. Now the handel does not bend, works fine and dosen't have any spring in it at all.
