Model A Parking Brake build

[ladon67]

Hello! I purchased a 1927 Bugatti Type 35 kit car which rolls on a '65 VW Beetle chassis. It has the stock parking brake handle in it just forward of the shift lever, but I've seen them with Model A style (pic attached) hand brake levers mounted on the outside.
The pic attached shows the pawl and catch with it, but no other parts. I'm wondering 1. Does anyone on here have an "exploded view" of the parts needed? and 2. Where's the best place to purchase the rest of what I'll need to make this work?

Tan car is mine. Red one shows one with the handle on the outside. Last is the photo of one I found available.


Thanks for your time! Happy Holidays. -Mark

The part you are missing is made into the transmission tower. It would be
easier to use the later had brake lever.

perhaps you can get a replacement parking brake shaft housing for the backing plate, then weld the ratchet to it and a bracket to mount on frame (the tube is brattons part # 3820)

Mark,
My 29 Chevy has a ‘split’ handle lever as in your 3rd photo, unless you prefer the push button lever as in the Ford.
Happy Christmas to all

Thanks for the replies, Gents. Bob, any chance of getting a slightly wider shot of the first pic? :-D

The outside one kind of looks the one on my 28 AR
