I realized that the brake release rod is badly bent and missing the T handle.  I tried to take some pics at the nationals, but I did not want to get crazy leaning into other people's cars.  Can someone show some good pics of what one should look like?  Can anyone tell me where to buy the handle?
Thanks

Replacement plastic handle available at Roseville:

I'll see if I can find some pictures of the rod.   Yours has an "interesting" bend to it.

This is a picture from the floor looking up at my release rod.   The offset bend starts about 2-1/4" from the face of the guide bushing that the rod goes through on the release mechanism.   

If someone has a release rod sitting on a benchtop and can confirm or update these measurements, that might be helpful as my measurements are approximations.

This is what I have.  If you want measurements or more pics, let me know.

Thanks.  I think I can approximate the proper bend.  Any suggestions on the proper handle, or at least one that works and is mostly correct?
