Good day to all. My e brake works great. The release handle is just hanging loose. Being as I can't cram my fat ass in the floor between the seat/firewall/ steering wheel I cant tell what I need. I do see a metal linkage deal that looks like its broke, and a spring broke in half( think that is a clutch pedal return though). Cant find a exploded view on it at lmc or in my haynes manual. Looked back here and didnt find a thread that related either. Any or all help is appreciated.....Bill

The 2nd is what I have. Going to take the seat out so I can get to it. Hopefully just a little metal bending is all it will take. Thanks



Here's a couple links to some ebay listings. Should help see what's there. I don't know if your year is the same. I know the first one is the same as my '85. The second link does not have the switch for the parking brake and the spring is in a different location.
