NOS emergency / parking brake handle.  To remove your old handle break the plastic off of the shaft to reveal the splined pin. Pull out pin with vise grips and install the new unit.

This reproduction emergency / parking brake handle is an exact reproduction that is made from quality materials and is less prone to cracking than your original. That being said, these still will crack if you pull hard and do not have your hand close to the shaft.  This was a design flaw from day one.  The correct way to apply the brake to reduce the chances of these handles cracking is to split your fingers around the shaft when applying the brake, keeping your fingers close to the...

Unlike our rebuilt units that feature a lifetime warranty, these new units only carry a one year warranty and when you factor in the machining costs and steel cost you know that they cannot afford to sell them at this price and use the $200 dollar a gallon rubber used in our rebuilt units.

That being said these are a decent unit at a reasonable cost, especially for those of you that have not core to exchange on...

Reproduction radio to door harness for your 67 - 70 Cougar or Mustang.

These 1969 molded vinyl, single post head rests were never offered on a Cougar or Mustang to our knowledge but they make a great "go-around" for the very expensive 1968 dual post headrests. To use them on your 1968 Cougar you will first need a pair of 1969 bucket seats as they have the internal hardware to accept the post. 1968 was a weak design so the 1969 seat frame is a nice upgrade and of course will accept any of the 1968 foam and interior kits. These headrests when in the down position...
