I have a '63 Scout 80 with the t-handle parking brake lever. It looks like a po pulled the handel all the way out and 'un-sprung' the pawls and it doesn't ratchet anymore.
How do you fix the springs so that they force up against the pawls and groves on the t-handle and ratchets again? The two pawls are held on by two rivets; the whole unit is pretty solid and it doesn't look like there is anyway to get the pawls off except by drilling out the rivets and rewinding the springs.
