Hand brake quadrant repair

[Ed Saniewski]

Has anyone had any luck cutting new grooves into an old quadrant? Or am I better off removing the rivets and installing a new one. The hand brake will not lock in place because it is so worn. Thanks Ed Saniewski

New ones are nicer, but you can sit and hand file each tooth. It is cheaper, but takes time.

Dremel hand tool with cut-off wheels make short order of sharpening worn teeth.

Sharpen the teeth, replace the pawl and put one of the these springs on.
