    WTB: Smooth Parking Brake Handle

    I was wondering if anyone has a good used replacement parking brake handle that is the smooth plastic type. I think all the ones available on the market today are textured. If they are available new, perhaps someone can point me in the right direction...Thanks Steve

    We painstakingly sand off the texture in halves, taping off the seam to preserve it. Then polish it by hand. I would recommend grinding out the flat inside handle so it doesn't split when installed. Gled

    Things like this make me feel so much better knowing I'm not alone with this sickness.
