Handbrake Lever Bushes

PostPost by: Roland » Sun Apr 10, 2022 9:14 am

I have just stripped down my handbrake mechanism at the rear of my Elan Sprint.

There are some bushes/spacers that fit into the handbrake levers on the rear calipers where the handbrake rods attach. On one side the bush/spacer is missing on the other side the hole in the bush is badly tear dropped.

Has anyone been successful in sourcing replacement bushes from the the usual UK parts suppliers, I don't seem to be having any success. RDent in the US seem to identify the part but I don't really want to go to the US for something so simple.

Alternatively are most just machining their own bushes.

Tks

My first action was to search SJS site since they were most likely to stock it I felt. However I searched on Handbrake and it doesn't show. Just now searched on Bush after seeing your post and will order up.

Thanks for your help, thankfully a simple one based on my poor navigation of SJS site.
