Handbrake Lever and light

Has anyone got a good picture of the handbrake assembly.

My handbrake levers fine put pivots again and is catching on a piece of metal on the floorpan…should the lever sit under this bit of metal?

Also the wire is disconnected for the brake warning light so where does this connect to on the lever? AND where does it go? Straight to the light on the right hand side of the dash?? :dontknow:
(not that I have a light behind the dash, its a dummy!)
First I knew of this was when I drained my brake fluid and no warning light came on …..and upon further investigation!

On that note does anyone have or know where to get a brake warning light? I  wondered what those spare wires were! :banghead:

i'll try and get some pics up to show what I mean by the peice of matal its catching.

Should run through fuse 19, 10amp, same one as the indicators.  Stick up a wanted ad here or ask some or the people who are breaking, shouldn't have to pay 'rare item' prices on here.

I have a picture one combined with the choke light - Would that do?

I "think" the switch looks the same from the rear with the same type of connection

Part number shown there for you. That's the one WITH the integral choke light though!



Sorry - battery going flat on camera!



Upside down but to show the PCB like connection!

Hope that helps a little
