Title: Handbrake rivit
Post by: Kontiki on September 20, 2024, 11:30:45 pm

Does anybody know weather you can buy the funny looking rivit and socket that holds the plastic guide for the handbrake cable to the rear trailing arm. You’re supposed to drive the rivit out and reuse it . Looks easy on the u-tube tutorials, well not in reality on a 14 year old rusty under carriage. If anyone can help I’d be extremely grateful. Possibly even a part number!

Thanks in anticipation Colin.
