My parking brake lever does not latch and the release button is pushed in. Anyone have any ideas on where to start on this. It's on the 84.

Thanks.

IIRC, 2 bolts hold it down to the car. Once you get it out it's very easy to see how the mechanism works. <img src="http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/images/brake_parts/944_brake/7-01-10-1.jpg" alt=" - " />

Mine was doing the same thing. The piece with the teeth on it (lower right hand corner) was pushed too far down. It took maybe 15 minutes, but I just worked it back into place and oiled it up. Worked fine since.

I did a neat little swap you may want to consider. I bought a later style "leather covered" e-brake handle out of a junkyard in Kansas City. Cost me $20, a little cleaning with Armor All Leather wipes, and about 30 minutes to swap. It looks a lot better than the original handle in my '83.

I do like the look of the later style.
