Nice quality, look at the original.

The hardest thing was to remove the old broken handle!!! (why were they not used a small screw rather than a pin!?)… :/

Nice repro. After braking off the original handle I had a hard time removing the pin but finally got it out.

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.

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.

Handle is not strong plastic. Snaps in two at junction when pulled hard. Metal in handle should be manufactured to continue around bend in handle. Cheap reproduction part.

WCCC Response:

Just like the originals and the NOS we sell; these do crack easily. What you must do is grab them close to the base, not on the outer portion which is intuitively what one would do. This was in fact an original factory design defect.
