Handbrake help

[RichV6]

Help, whats the hand brake lever from, found the button missing this morning and pressing the rod inside is none to clever. Currently fitted with a Leven ally handle but need to get a plastic button to keep me going till I can replace it, surely freely available from the local scrappy? Checked the parts link already.

I wouldn't worry to much, most Cerb's handbrakes are useless on a slope of more than a couple of degrees.

I'm almost positive its from a ford it looked the same as the 1 on my westfield which came from a sierra! hopefully someone will back this up so you'll for sure.

I was as suprised as you would be when after a load of work being done at HHC and a new MOT the hand brake actually worked!
Still needs a new button now, I suppose if nothing was to be repaired the forum would be a very quiet place.

Cerberas have handbrakes!
I thought they were just for show?!

Do Leven not sell just the button on its own, or do you have to get it all?

Allow food inside the TVR. You've got to be joking.

.

They always do.

Shame it only lasts a couple of months, before reverting back to form

As far as I can remember the button is just like a minuture baked bean can with the lid off (if you know what I mean - or a thimble even ) with a nylon insert that you just screw in to the lever, nothing that a rumage around the tool shed and a blob of araldite wont fix.

Ha ha good to see i'm not the only one using it for this

Mine has worked ever since it was adjusted by David Batty - so > 2 years now. It's possible to make them work, but you need to know how to adjust things properly. I don't, so if it ever does play up, I'll take it back to him.

Of course before.....only just received the ban. It was the Cerbera....

Ekk
It does make you think how many ways these cars can make or break people.
Now not being able to drive that Cerbera for 6months is a crime itself.
Hope you gave the judge a nice
