1967 Vette Parking Brake

[Michael V.]

The button & spring in the handle of the parking brake popped out. Can it be reinstall or do you need to replace the entire parking brake handle unit???

Michael -

Member Jeff Salz restores them, and he'll have the answer; if he doesn't spot your post, you can contact him through his profile in the member list item near the top of the page.

That happened to mine also. I just reinstalled the spring and put the button back on the shaft using a small amont of CRAZY GLUE. That was 3 yrs ago and it still together.

If you glue the button & spring, does the button still work so that when you rise the handle the parking brake holds?

MIchael,

I used a silicone glue on my parking brake button. You have to tape the button closed until the glue takes a set, or the spring will just pop the button out.

I just received my 67 handle back from Jeff Salz on Friday. A true work of art. Do yourself a favor and spend the $200 and it will be better than new. His email is jeffstuarts@aol.com Good luck
