These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know you can't get the button separately, but the question I'd like answered is: Can the release button be removed from a parking brake handle, or is it part of a longer release rod? My button has been missing since I bought the car, but looking inside the handle, it does not appear to have broken off. More like it was pulled-out of the handle. Any knowledge if that's how it's attached? Thanks;

POST 2Original post

From what I could see it looks like it is just an insert. Also try this site in the UK it looks like they sell the piece alone. Otherwise you might be doing an Ebay special to get the button in the complete assembly. http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/pt67_4...981/Handbrake/

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

UPDATE: The site in the UK wanted something like $23 US for the button and $25 for shipping to the US. Yeeesh! So, I posted on our local PCA Chapter and a member suggested a certain parts recycler; gave him a call; would not sell just the button, but would sell me one heckuva ragged-out complete handle, with shipping, for $20. Got the handle, pulled out the button, and installed into mine. Slipped right in.

That's probably a good idea! I went about 4 months thinking I didn't have an owner's manual when I finally discovered that the passenger door also had the armrest flip-top. Yup; there was the manual, all supplements, and the cover/wallet.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
