Park brake handles
My Mk1 & MK2 have the handles bent opposite .I wonder if it had to do with the fact that in Canada we drive on the right side of the road and in England they drive on the left . Where are these guys that made them , maybe they could set us straight ? I made Richard a handle and the Dodge handle was the same kind as the carrier. Ford are different .

Hi. My carrier has a straight hand brake lever, When the brake is off the release button at the top of the handle almost touches the underside of the front clasier plate, I guess bending the lever to one side will make releasing it easier. Its difficult to push the button down unless you have long fingernails, a design fault perhaps?,
na cant be it's a British design !. no i havent got long fingernails. not even before knocking 320 track pins out. Kevin.

park brake handle
When I made the handle for Richard I had to shorten it about 2" before I put the bend in it because the Dodge power wagon one is longer

Nobody out there knows the answer? I have down loaded a lot of carrier pictures and if any one has a bunch of pictures them selves have a good look at the handle on the MK1 and MK2 carriers and they are bent in different directions. It does not make sense to me as both MK1 and 2 have the same drivers compartment layout ?

Dave, a few thoughts.
If the MkI and MkII are different, then it may be about an improvement in access. to grab the thing from the right side of the steeing wheel is probably harder to do, than from the left.
I think Jordan was talking about one from a Jeep trailer. There should be part numbers on them. They are a pig of a thing because that rod on the inside binds at the bend. I cant see the brace interfering with either a left or right bent one, but a straight one would be awkward too.( and not correct)

Off subject a little but early Loyds had a straight hand brake lever while the later ones like mine are bent to the right, this is reflected in the parts books. Perhaps this came from a common design review following field experiance?
