On the line drawing there is a stamped sheet metal handle, hinged at the top, on the steering column. What is it?

That is the handbrake, a standard Ford part used on Australian carriers. I have these (with a slightly different mounting bracket) NOS if anyone is interested.

Mark Sierant bought most of those, I think I have one which will need to have the end rethreaded due to corrosion in storage. Note the handbrake itself, although the handle and mechanism is identical to the carrier has a different mounting bracket which can be modified to suit.
