The parking brake handle on my 71 was missing some parts and was not functioning. I have it just about done, but can't figure out how the pawl(?) (blue item in picture below) is supposed to maintain contact with the other toothed part. The pushbutton releases/pushes the top of the pawl disengaging it from the other part, but I do not see what is supposed to put tension on the pawl to reingage it with the other toothed part.
I assume there is a spring of some sort missing but I do not see where it would mount. the fixed handle on my 73 has a slightly different pushrod that engages the top of the pawl, and releases and engages both. Anybody have the answer to this one? I know you are out there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Jim  |

Thanks for the thread link, that answers the question. Now I just need to make one as I dont see one listed in the parts diagram.
Post a pic of your improvised solution if you get a chance, just in case I can't make the correct piece. I was hoping someone had seen this before, I was starting to think I was losing my mind. Jim |

Jim Sorry for the delay, I worked the last 3 night shifts and only becoming semi-human again. Also took 30 seconds to pop the seat about and another 5 minutes trying to get a decent picture while the rain was dripping off the roof and down the back of my pants. Oh the sacrifices we make for our fellow teeners!! Hopefully from the post you can see a hook welded to the tip of the pawl and another hook welded to the back of the housing. Between these runs the spring to apply the tension for the pawl. This is all covered by a boot and is not seen. This car will be my next project when the new shop is built and I have another dry spot to park it other than under tarpage.   |
