    All,
    Looking for a QV Hand Brake Lever Assy after the one in my car came back from the shop with its ratchet mechanism stripped. No idea how that happens, but there it is.
    I've tried all the usual suspects new and used and was only able to find one rusty POS on eBay in Great Britain.
    If you have one laying around taking up space, I'd be more than happy to help you de-clutter. ;)
    - Dave

    Have you considered taking yours apart and fixing it? My parking brake lever would stay up and it was a worn out pawl. I welded it up and ground it to the right shape and now my parking brake actually works

    You might be able to clean up the stripped ratchet mechanism with a dremel tool and its cutting wheel.

    @flyngti @moysiuan - Thanks for the suggestions. Repairing my damaged unit is Plan B; my preference is to replace with a NOS lever or a used unit known to be in good working order.

    That was my preference too, until I found them hard to find, and used ones were also often worn. There were three teeth that had worn on mine. I reprofiled them with the dremel, and the repair is holding up very well, many years later. A small amount of grease is necessary prevent the wear. Sobering to realize only a couple of mm of metal can hold the whole car in place.

    That's the complete assembly as shown on the picture. I have a few used in stock.

    We list the hand grip too but I'm out of stock and don't yet have an ETA.
