Quick one, any one know what the hand brake lever is off?

Off to a scrapy for a fun morning.

I think it's a Ford part - either Sierra or Escort.

Probably a good idea to take your broken one with you for comparison.

What's wrong with your lever?

Failure can be due to the retaining bolt shearing where it connects to the chassis.

Yup bolt sheared a couple of years ago. I 'fixed' it with an old pushrod and a jubilee clip as I mashed the thread getting it out. Currently in the processes of putting back together after a body off refurb and plan to weld the shaft across the chassis to support the handle rather than grind the bracket off. Would be interested to hear about anyone else's solutions.

I want to replace the handle as it is bent at the back due to the angle I had it at so causes resistance on the ratchet part.

Could not find a match at the scrappy but not many old fords.

Only 50 quid from TVR parts place so not the end of the world.

Cheers
