I think I still have all the e-brake parts from my old truck if you need anything.
Except I did use the hand lever and clevis on the midget.  |

As it was a warm and breezy day yesterday, it seemed like a good idea to fire up the old girl (for the first time in several months) and move it around a bit to keep everything functioning. Plus being outside it was a good opportunity to air everything.
Leaning against the front is an original brush guard, of the type that it would have had during WW2 when in use with the RAF. Gordon discovered this and arranged for me to acquire it a few months ago. It'll need some straightening out, but it's rare for one of these to turn up in any condition.

Very cool, congratulations Rick! 
Don't think I've ever seen that magazine over here.
Will you be able to do a scan later on? |

.. and it was just a few miles from Rick, too. It wasn't even that expensive, because there are only about half a dozen trucks in Europe you could adapt it to.

The same argument could be used the other way around, so rare so very expensive! |
