'89 200tq handbrake

[Thomas Barbera <tjbst39+@pitt.edu>]

I was replacing the handbrake cables on my '89 200tq the other day.  I went 
to loosen the adjustment nut which connects to the handbrake when it 
twisted off.  It was completely frozen.  I went to the audi dealer to get a 
new bolt and nut, but they said it comes as one piece, all part of the 
handbrake itself, even though the bolt is held in by a clip.  This makes it 
very expensive.  I would go to a salvage yard and get one, but I'm afraid 
those will also be rusted.  If anyone knows how I can rig the handbrake, or 
get a new piece, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.
