The E-brake Lever -

Has anyone else noticed how the e-brake lever feels a little "cheap" in the way that it ratchets up? The best word I can come up with is that it feels loose (though it isn't *actually* lose), not quite as solid as just about every other vehicle I've owned. Has anyone tried anything to remedy this?

What about a replacement P-Brake handle to get way from the OE?

You can adjust the lever. remove the boot cover for the handle and adjust the 10 mm nut. that will adjust the throw.

hope that helps
