I wish some on would repop the little insert that hols the spring in place,my brake release you have to manually push back in it doesn't snap back.

Mine does the same thing, but I've never looked at it to see why. This could be the problem. Add me to the list.

Tell me where this is, so I can look at mine and see if it's something I can make.......

If you pull the handle out there is a coil spring on the shaft that pulls the handle back. Where that handle shaft goes through the bracket there is a nylon retainer that keeps the spring from pushing through the bracket.

I'll see if I can find a pic.

I think the original is nylon, but if it were me I would make new ones from UHMW.

i was missing that piece also and i think i made something work. best as i can describe it is a plastic push in wire protector. found the right diameter and is had 3 or 4 locking tabs and i slit it length wise and slid it on the brake release rod and into the hole. i'll try to find a pic for reference.

here is the pic of the piece i used. it is described as a nylon hole plug. i drilled a hole for the brake release rod and slit it length wise to slide over the rod and then into the hole on the bracket.

I'll take a look at mine this weekend. I'll keep you posted. If I make them who wants what? I need to know how many to make.
