Does anyone have a parts car?

[drunkenmaster]

Does anyone have either a parts car or a whole heap of spare parts?

I am after a part that not many people would hang onto unless still it the car i would imagine:

The long threaded bolt/linkage which connects the main handbrake lever to the handbrake cable lever.

Thanks

I believe I have it.

Got an oem DS side mirror hanging around...

even if you don't, I'll get a pic or two tomorrow, and see if it is what you are after...

Thanks Will, but I imagine international post for such a small peice would be a nuisance?

how much of it are you after? I assume this is the part, the only other thing I would have to do is drag out all the others and see if this is one from a 240 or a 2+2, I know I have the spare 240 one somewhere but not totally sure where.

EDIT I just found a short stumpy very different version but still attached to the similar pivot point, so I assume that picture is a 2+2 and the stumpy one is the 240? So there is a spare 240 one, but I still need to work out which one is which.

Wow, I am not sure I have ever seen that before but it is similar to what I want, I guess you are right in guessing that is a longer 2+2 version.

That part I need is just the threaded bolt at the end that slides though one of the pivot points and links to the other arm, turning it will tighten the handbrake cable. It is about 20cm long and is pretty much just a long skinny bolt.

Mine was bent when I got the car.

Thanks

This little sucker?

hmmm...hard to tell from the photo and my memory from oh, yesterday.

From memory there are 2 long sections in this assembly.

1) has a pivot fork on one side to mount to the front hand brake lever and a welded nut on the other side to join the the rear.

2) has a bolt head on one side to stop it sliding all the way through the rear handbrake cable lever and a threaded end which threads into the part 1) above.

I need the part number 2)

The thing that is confusing me about the photo above is that it has a fork on one side and maybe a threaded on the other? It is hard to tell as it maybe be partially assembled and also quite dirty

Thanks for running around on this one.

The bit you are looking at in the photo is the bit that the somewhat disformed finger is pointing to in the picture. If this isnt the right bit, mark the bit on the photo thats the bit you are after and I can have another look (or just the number).

I will take a photo tonight when I get home, my car being a '77 260Z I think may be different.

The part your pointing to in the pic is actually 2 peices on my car I beleive.

Thanks for the help so far

Here it is, we are looking at the threaded long bolt:

There is a bit like that in the first pic of the 2+2 part, but its got a bend in it, might be just worth getting a high tensile bolt from a bolt shop and grinding down the fixed head to suit with a bench grinder? Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

[drunkenmaster]

No worries, Thanks for your help.

Mine works now (I ground off the bent portion) but it is about 2mm's too short and the handbrake does not fully release. I am sure i will sort it out.
