Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"
Now for under the dash parking brake parts. I see my bag of fasteners for the handle hardware is missing the spring and the little clamp/bolt that secures the outside sheath of the cable to the underdash bracket. You can see in the photo the 90 degree bracket with a small hole in it to accommodate a return spring.
I don't remember ever seeing or removing that spring (of course, disassembly took place more than 3 years ago). In the photo, the parking brake cable is shown on the wrong side of the bracket (it is secured by the missing part on the inside of the bracket, in other words closer to the center of the vehicle).
P.S. Found the spring, parking brake functions now. Replaced the plastic handle that had bent and was ready to break away (the repro is looser on the stem of the handle tube but I suppose the pin will keep it firm and steady).
