Fish scale?So far my emergency / parking brake handle has came apart inside 2 times. I'm tired of fixing it, I could buy another handle assembly from Lokar but do not want the same issues again. looking for a more permanent solution. I am leaning toward a linear actuator to work it. I found some nice small actuators at Servo City. I just have to figure out the amount of pull needed to apply the brakes.
It will have to be a good size one I feel like it would be 50lbs + would be my guessFish scale?
Is that a thing with the Cobalt's OEM parking brake? I noticed on my donor, the little half-gear piece was laying under the center console and there was nothing to hold the brake on.So far my emergency / parking brake handle has came apart inside 2 times.

Does yours not look like this? The second picture shows the pawl on top, inside the handle.Is that a thing with the Cobalt's OEM parking brake? I noticed on my donor, the little half-gear piece was laying under the center console and there was nothing to hold the brake on.

It would but!Wouldn't buying another pull handle be easier and cheaper? I haven't had a problem with my Cobalt parking brake handle.
Haha. Yes it should. I mounted mine a bit different for access which I am glad I did because of the luck I have had with the handle. I can get the handle out without removing the seats. Even though I put the 3M paint protector over it. Still it is all chipped up from the 5 point harness. If I go with the linear actuator to do it I will have to patch up some holes to cover the where the handle is now.
That one is not mine that is Bruce's.Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the 5 or 6 wire plug stuck in the end of the box under the lever?
