Re: Hand Brake - Part missing????

I only see one service spring listed for the 120 handle and a different one for the 18 & 19th series which happens to be the same spring listed for the Clipper type. They must have changed the handle assy in 40 and kept it thru 50.
Whether Kanter might have the factory spring is a question. Max does not list it. With only one spring listed and the release lever appearing to work, I wonder if the spring is broken -- or at least broken completely. If it does need replacing and Kanter doesn't have any, assuming it is a torsion spring like the other handle, then if there are some approx dimensions and an idea of what it would need to do to function McMaster has assorted style torsion, extension and compression springs. Possibly one of those could be adapted or as Dave said, made from scratch.https://www.mcmaster.com/torsion-springs
