Thanks Guys. I'll be at the car tomorrow and will take photos and see what you think. I don't kind of fancy myself as a 'spring maker', but I have taken on stranger tasks in my day, so, if all else fails???......

Hello I have reproduced the small spring for the parking brake assembly for my 1935 to 1937 Juniors I own. here is a picture of one of them. I had them leave the two ends long to make it easier to assemble. I have about 100 of these. Message me if you would like one or more of them. asking $5.00 each plus $1 shipping

1936 and 1937 120's Are what we like best. But we also like all other Packards too.

Here are some photos I took when I had the springs made. It shows the assembly from a 1937 120C.

Hi Don,
Wow, that is both very generous of you and fortuitous for me! The pictures you posted of your hand brake assembly look quite a bit different from mine and so therefore not sure if the springs you have will work on my unit. I will be photographing my hand brake tomorrow and will post. Maybe when you see mine, you could weigh in with your thoughts/opinion?? Have to say, the help available here is unbelievable! Many thanks to all.

I THINK I may have figured out the problem with my parking brake handle. Actually, I took it to show my 91 year old Dad and we poured over it for a good hour, trying to isolate the issue. The attached pictures show a notch in the end on the thumb-button release lever. Both my Dad and I thought the notch was supposed to be there as it looked 'manufactured', We ended up looking at it with a high-powered magnifying glass and it became obvious that the notch was WORN into the lever end and shouldn't be there. I will grind the rivet off and take the piece to a welder and get it filled in and I think the spring action of the release lever will apply pressure to the pawl and hold it in place. I'll use a clevis pin, washer and a cotter key to reassemble the unit and once it is all sprayed to match the interior brown, no-one will know the difference.
