Comparison to a "real" part
When we went up to the Dan Caldwell's to pick up the HUP parts for Rob Clarke I took the chance to look inside the FAT bodies they have in the back yard and there was a parking brake handle of the type I'd made staring me in the face. (Aside - I think Christie would like him to sell the FAT bodies if a suitable buyer can be found).
Compared to the fabricated part, the main upright is a bit thicker, all facets of the base have more casting draght than I had expected but unless you know what to look for, I think my fabrication is an acceptable facsimile until an original part jumps out of the bush.
Images are the original parking brake lever assembly.
