Handle - Emergency / Parking Brake - Repro ~ 1967 - 1968 Mercury Cougar / 1967 - 1968 Ford Mustang

Like others have said, it is a perfect fit. The old one was a bear to get off. The pin would not come out. Had to devise a press out of large plier, a punch and a clamp to press the pin out after I had cut away the plastic and the metal inside the plastic with a cutting wheel. The pin hole on the one I received was on the inside where you go to grab the handle, so I had to press that pin all the way in so it would catch my hand . When I installed the new one, I tapped it on, but the pin hole did not line up when bottomed out. I took a punch, put it in the handle hole while tapping the handle to find where the hole in the bar was. Worked perfectly.

Nice reproduction with metal reinforcement. Fits perfect, looks correct. Comes with press fit pin, or set screw for easy removal.

Very nice part, fit snug on the shaft and appearance is great. The only issue I had was the retaining pin was about a half a hole diameter too far up the handle. I tapped (pounded) the handle on with a soft hammer until it bottomed out and the locking pin wouldn't go in. I reamed the hole toward the rod entry just enough to get the pin in. This works, but the pin is more loose now than it should be.

Note: my car was restored about 12+ years ago and I'm not certain the brake rod is original. I would be interested if other buyers didn't have this issue.

This handle fits well. I ordered a handle from a different website and it didnt fit well. This handle fits well.
