Re: Hand Brake - Part missing????

In studying the parts pic Howard posted, it looks like maybe that long tail on the end of spring (1.120) should sit on 'top' of the tail on the pawl (1.118) to provide tension on it. If the spring IS broken, is there any chance on the planet of finding one!??! I would think that would be on the north side of impossible. I could certainly grind the rivets off and reassemble with bolts and thin nuts, if I COULD come up with a spring. Probably be easier to find a replacement complete assembly. Anyway, I WILL post a couple of pics and see where it goes.
