Handbrake Lever Help

[kelvinb]

Can anyone help please

Am currently rebuilding an S that someone else started as a project and am nearing the stage of dropping the body back on but have a problem with the handbrake lever and linkage. I DON'T HAVE IT!!!! I Have fitted a new cable etc, but have no lever or linkage in the boxes of bits.

Was the lever a special for the S, any ideas where I can get one from?? Your help and knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

I think the lever is a TVR special, it may be from something else but no idea what.

This might help

It could be worth dropping Tony an email for a few photos of the lever off the car.

It has a splined shaft that goes through the chassis and engages with the metal part on the cable - which I assume you have?

Pic below - hope this helps

Norman you don't have a spare from when you broke up Lucy do you?

No it wasnt to me Norman my handbrake was in the box that came with my car project like Kelvin's.

Here are some photos. The button should be black (it was missing from my box of bits and I have turned this out of a piece of plastic temporarily). If you find out what car its from please post on here or add to the alternative parts list. Good luck Tony







I will take some more photos of the linkage and connections when I gat a chance. Have you got the brake cable?
A fair while ago I bought some bits off a guy who was braking his TVR I have emailed him to enquire if he has a handbrake. I will let you know.

Do you recall what the thread size is in the button?

TonupS2 has not posted for over a year so I doubt you will get a reply.
I think it is most likely M5 but if you are making one just leave the hole undersize in the plastic and screw it on.

Was a bit of a long shot but thought someone else (out of the five or six people still on here) might have read this and known the answer


Want to make from alluminium so thread has to be correct, 2BA has been mentioned on Chimaera Forum

Do you have a way to measure it even if only the OD?
BA thread is much finer than metric.

Mike. Mine is off the car at the moment, I’ll see if I can get it off at the weekend and get a size for you.
