You will find it easier and probably cheaper to purchase the whole unit used. They don't break very often and are inexpensive. Probably easier to install.

What about going to a good hardware store and trying to find a hard rubber or nylon plug of approximately the same dimensions? Might take a bit of fiddling to make one fit, but my fear is that most used assemblies are going to have the same problem of a worn-out rubber "button"!? I've got a few spare handbrake assemblies from Heralds and Spitfires, and they're all pretty much suffering only from deteriorated buttons.

Drill a hole slightly "undersize"? Frankly I was startled just now, in researching this online, to discover that this "pawl" assembly was apparently always sold complete; the rubber button apparently was NOT a separately sold item. Seems strange, but I've seen stranger over the years....

crazy glue?
[/ QUOTE ]Couldn't hurt, I suppose. The original "buttons" were drilled partway through, but age and usage tend to finish the drilling process. The resulting mark on your thumb from the rod gets uncomfortable, though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cryin.gif
