Posted September 11, 201212 yr comment_401267 did the logical search , but no luck......my hand brake cable is fine, the problem seems to be the two rods connection on the center hand brake assembly came loose. I have a Black Dragon catalog and don't see the rods ,these rods both ends have threads and somehow screw to the assembly, HELP,,,,,any tips will be welcome,,,,,, Edited September 11, 201212 yr by 72 OJ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/44373-my-hand-brake-snaped-offhelp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

September 12, 201212 yr comment_401308 There are two rods for the ebrake - a long one from the ebrake handle, a short one for the cable yoke. Did you bust both or just one? Any pick-a-parts in your area? This will not be a typical aftermarket item, may still be available from Nissan.
