Driving back from cruise night tonight, we noticed some awful smell. It was the parking brake on one side dragging because I did not push the handle all the way forward. Why you ask, because my car is missing the return spring. Yet another part a previous owner neglected to install. And they are new linings too. Boy am i pissed. And now i feel better for venting.
Any dimensions on the spring would be appreciated. Mounting points are welcome too. The picture in the manual is somewhat vague.

It's not how fast you can go, but how good you look at 20 MPH.

Most vendors carry the e-brake spring. When you have it in your hands the installation will be obvious.

Check with the Filling Station. They should have the spring. Do you have one of their catalogs? If not, you can view their parts on line at: www.fillingstation.com

Like I said earlier, most vendors carry that spring.
