WTB - E-Brake release lever return spring

[RayL]

1973 Rallye

I'm know I've seen this spring for sale somewhere, but cannot find it now that I need one...

Anyone know where to purchase one?

Thanks for looking!

Thanks @Ns1aar. I'm looking forward to replacing my rubber-band bodge soon!

Correct @Mr Cuda - seeing it reminded me I needed that spring :-)

Following up...

I did reach out to Jamie at Mega Parts (https://www.megapartsusa.com). He confirmed their part 199-DR056A is for 1970 and will not interchange with later model parking brake assemblies. I confirmed mine is indeed a 1973 parking brake assembly and that it does require a different rod return spring. Did some more searches and found images and assembly numbers on Blue Star Performance (https://bluestarperformance.com/) - see below. I'm just looking for the rod return spring (image below), not the entire assembly. No luck finding this part number, so it is a trip to the local hardware store to find something that fits.

Thanks for the help!

Job done with a quick trip to the hardware store. Spent about $7 to purchase a few springs that looked likely to work. Used the one that worked best. That would be #19 on the attached image (about 2-1/2" long that stretched to about 4"). Hardest part was getting it hooked on the tabs without it shooting off into space.

Thanks everyone
