    The cross bolt of the link plate may need tightening. Hook on link rod may need a tweek so it holds better. Side plates of lever may need a little squeeze to prevent rod hook escape. Button only rotates if hook has come out or its threads to rod...

    Hello all, recently the button on my handbrake lever has started to rotate freely, the handbrake still pulls on fine and releases but occasionally, due to the plunger rod rotating with the button, the rod pops out of the wee connector plate...

    To be fair, it wasn’t as bad as I thought to do, worst part was getting the floor up, but anyway, even if I have to replace the O ring and grease the cups yearly it’s worth it to get rid of the gear-lever chatter, it was driving me and Mrs...

    Have made a rudimentary bush from a bit of diving stick, it’s hard polyurethane type material and fits very snugly over the ball. Will file it up neatly tomorrow and reassemble! Should do for a while and hopefully stop that bloody awful stick rattle
