Parking Brake Quadrant
I may need to replace this as the lever doesn’t hold in any position. I guess that’s why the car came with the accessory bungee cord…..? Has anyone replaced one of these? Do you grind off or drill out the rivets and replace with bolts/nuts? What other parts should I order? I’m new to the Model T and this is my first one.

Re: Parking Brake Quadrant
If you want to do it right, grind off the rivet heads and knock them out with a drift pin. I didn't do it right, I just used grade 5 bolts. While you are at it, buy a Hand brake lever pawl and replace that too.

Re: Parking Brake Quadrant
Bolts won’t hold as well? Not sure how to replace rivets?

Re: Parking Brake Quadrant
Here is what it looks like. It appears to be bolted on. Replaced earlier? Doesn't look like a hard project. Might be easier working on my 'T' than my 'A'.QUADRANT.0.jpg

Re: Parking Brake Quadrant
I have repaired these by taking a triangular file such as a saw file and filing the teeth a little deeper. you can also refile the pawl. Or, some guys cut a piece of wood and fit it in the slot where the lever goes forward.
