texasjack Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I recently purchased an 87 Comanche and the brake release handle was laying on the floor board. Rather than spend $30 for a used one I purchased a very small cable clamp from Home Depot and a bike spoke from a shop. I measured the distance between the under dash release lever and the handle and clamped the handle and the spoke together and it works great! Now I need to find the bracket that goes between the A/C compressor stand and the rear of the compressor. HELP!!! Thank you Texasjack Aledo, TEXAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike36 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Texasjack can you post a pic of your fix? I have a broken brake release that I need to fix. The little ball on the tip was hanging on by a few strands and finally snapped. I was thinking about drilling and tapping the end with something small like a #4 or #6 and drill a through hole in the bolt head and run safety wire from the bolt to the release lever.

texasjack Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I do not have a way to transfer pixs to this site. Get a very small cable clamp and look at the spoke and the handle as two cables and clamp them together. Use the small solid end of the handle.
