Mike 66 Posted 18September, 2019 Report Share Posted 18September, 2019 Hi I have a 1976 911..my handbrake won’t engage the “3 tooth cog” within the handbrake lever with the main cog in the base plate of the handbrake The hand brake will release via the hand brake button but it would seem there needs to be a spring / mechanism that locks it in place- which is missing? I can’t seem to see it on any exploded parts diagrams. Does anyone know if it’s a spring that forces the return of the cog plate ? Sorry I can’t take any pics as I think it would be within the handbrake pressing? Thanks in advance Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81SC Posted 18September, 2019 Report Share Posted 18September, 2019 Is item 32 what you're looking for Mike? Item 32 - 901 424 543 00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 66 Posted 18September, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 18September, 2019 Hi @81SC thanks again for your help ..I don’t think it’s that part Unfortunately. I have part 32 that releases part 13 from the main toothed cog from what I can tell would be in part 15. When it release it should re-engage .. it doesn’t make that typical “clicking” sound as they move over each other when you apply the handbrake ..just thinking about it now that it maybe All gunk in there that may be withholding the spring pressure.. I will have a look tomorrow .. got me thinking so thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 66 Posted 20September, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 20September, 2019 Hi @81SC i stripped the whole mechanism last night and found the rod that connects to the handbrake release button was bent and causing the spring to grab. Greased it all up .. straightened the rod and back in action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
