OldAndrewE Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I am in the process of restoring my 1985 live axle S3. The axle is Ford (Escort Mk1?) and I need to renew the handbrake operating levers. Does anyone know where these can be obtained - either new or good used. Alternatively does anyone know if the similar (but not identical) Triumph levers will work. They operate on the same Girling single piston wheel cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANGO7 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 You could try Powertrack, good for supply of brake and clutch parts for earlier cars also may be able to give you advice if alternative levers would fit.Contact details :- 01344 886522www.powertrackbrakes.co.ukIf Triumph or BL parts fit Rimmer Bros may be an option.

OldAndrewE Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Thanks for that, I will send Powertrack an email. I had seen the Triumph levers on Rimmer Bros website which made me think they may work. If all else fails I will buy a couple and try for myself.
