my hand brake snaped off,,,,HELP

Featured Replies

did the logical search , but no luck......my hand brake cable is fine, the problem seems to be the two rods connection on the center hand brake assembly came loose. I have a Black Dragon catalog and don't see the rods ,these rods both ends have threads and somehow screw to the assembly, HELP,,,,,any tips will be welcome,,,,,,

Dismantle, evaluate, and make new parts as required.

I may have one on a '78 parts car... You have been Power Sliding with the LS1 haven't you??

black gold man,,,,,is not the handle :classic:

, is the connecting rods on the Z stock cable rear/emergency/parking brake assembly, that somehow snapped off :ermm:....any tips welcome,I need to remedy this ASAP since I have a steep driveway where she sleeps :cool:

There are two rods for the ebrake - a long one from the ebrake handle, a short one for the cable yoke. Did you bust both or just one? Any pick-a-parts in your area? This will not be a typical aftermarket item, may still be available from Nissan.

Yep,both are snapped from the assembly,after looking at your picture seems that my assembly came apart/broke or got unglued LOL...I will check the assembly to see if parts are broken or missing, do you have pic on how it looks when in proper working order,,,,,thanks

This might be of some help, too.

morning bump............I am thinking in a ''mickey mouse fix'', use a spare clutch/brake cable from my Vespa, cut it to size, put it in the cable yolk and secure it to the handle , the Vespa cable has adjusters at both ends,what do you think :ermm:
