PeterAllen Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 The handbrake lever has been stored away for years while the project was undertaken. I just retrieved it to clean and install and I've noticed it doesn't have the trigger mechanism - I'm assuming a push-rod and spring at least. Are these separate items or do I need a whole second-hand handbrake mechanism? Quote
zeds4ever Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Have a 260Z unit you might be able to salvage parts from . If that helps. Regards: Alan. Quote
PeterAllen Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Thanks Alan. If nothing comes up closer I take the boss for a drive up there. Peter (ex Lithgow boy) Quote
zeds4ever Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Mate if you can let me know which part of the lever mechanism you need I can dismantle unit & post part to you. You can have the mchnsm for free just cover pstge cost. Regards: Alan. Quote
peter t Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 checked the shed but must have left that bit in the parts car. Sorry mate. :'( Quote
zeds4ever Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 No prob's mate, my memory is not the best sometimes either. LOL. Regards: Alan. Quote
PeterAllen Posted December 13, 2014 Author Posted December 13, 2014 Alan. You might be confusing the two old Peters here. 'peter t' is the silly old fart from Qld, whereas 'PeterAllen' (me) is the suave, sophisticated gent from NSW, who is still in need of the handbrake. I've had a look at the Service Manual and there is no exploded view which suggest the trigger mechanism is integrated into the lever, meaning I need a whole lever as shown. Quote
zeds4ever Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 My apologies Pete , I have this unit complete but as stated it is a 260Z type so don't know if it is compatible. You can have it for pstge cost if it suits your needs. Regards: Alan. Quote
