chimo 0 Posted February 8, 2008 Hey guys I'm hoping to commission one or so of the community to help me with my parking brake. Just bought the thing and the parking brake and well, for lake of a better term has been pulled so hard, it's broken the mounts welded to the center tunnel. So I need the help of someone with a grinder to grind the mangled mounts off, a welder to weld new metal in, and a tap kit to thread the mount... Can anyone give me a hand at asome point?

BeavisJem 0 Posted February 8, 2008 Mine got pulled off during an MOT, it passed :D I managed to put some big washers and bolts in place where the mounts were and its been fine for a couple of years. Beavisjem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chimo 0 Posted February 8, 2008 that must have been pleasant. It might be too mangled for the washers.. someone obviously has tried that in the past Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeavisJem 0 Posted February 8, 2008 Mine was a bit mangled, i managed to get some big round washers with a flat bolt through and had them upturned through 2 of the mounting points on the handbrake mech. I managed to wedge them under the original welded parts and when i tightened it all up its held firm, i am adjusting my handbrake cables this weekend and i will try to get some pics to see if it helps.
