Hand brake switch
Are these avaliable anywhere? Tried to pull mine apart to clean it today and it disintegrated.

Re: Hand brake switch
if that is the one that is under the hand brake lever, just a plunger type switch, I think you can likely adapt a generic type switch. Mine is gone too (which has resulted in more than once me driving off with my parking brake on, and overheating the rear brakes and wearing out the shoes). I got to fix mine too.
Take what is left to an autoparts store and see if they can match it. There might be something in those racks of "Help!" odds and ends (generic switches, window cranks, knobs and buttons, etc).

Re: Hand brake switch
What Petros wrote. I made one of those little plunger switches work for my '60 Morris Minor when I built a new dashboard for it (installed Sprite speedo, tach, and other gauges from a Sprite, as well as an in-dash radio). This was back in 1961, so no pix have survived.
