.killsec Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Hey guys, overhauling my interior currently. Noticed a few parts have some rust on them that I'd like to remove. I'm stuck on the hand brake bracket and was wondering if anyone has ever removed this before. There's a bolt labeled 28 with no flats on it that looks like it needs to come off to separate the handle and steel cable track from the bracket but I don't want to mess it up. Any advice?

evinX Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 As i remember there is a metal tab you need to bend backwards in order to free the cable off. And bend back to place when refitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 In short, I don't think these are designed to be separated. I would suspect this is a pressed rivet and would need drilling to separate it. You would then be stuck with having to find an appropriate replacement part. You may wish to consider buying a new handbrake assembly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.killsec Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 shame, they are running pretty high in price. is anyone aware of any aftermarket solutions that look oem-ish? maybe one that i can just throw a dust boot over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I've just checked Amayama. They are going for £98 (plus vat, postage and duty). So probably closer to £150. Part number 46201-14260-C3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
