parking brake

[roger@mostro.sps.mot.com (Roger Albert)]

Hi again,

OK, here's my second post of the morning.  MY "new" 4k not only came
with dampers that don't, but a parking brake that doesn't.  Actually,
its fine if you hold it up or stick a brick under the handle, but what
I'd perfer, would be to fix the detent mechanism.  The previous owner
pre-stuffed the glove box with assorted trash, AND, two gears that are
alleged to be the ones to solve this.  I pulled the brake boot this morn
and noted that the handle, and I think, at least one of the gears is rivited
in place.  Anyone fixed this before?  Any tips?  Not much in Haynes.
The patient is an 86 4kS.  TIA

regards
roger
