["Weiss, Jeffrey" <jeffrey.weiss@domain.elided>]

I also got a whole parking brake assembly from APE, but I only
needed to use the pawl assembly from it.  If your problem,
Mike, is that the brake won't "stay up," then I can't imagine
what the cause could be other than a worn out ratchet and/or
pawl.  Perhaps misalignment?  Loose components?  Pawl assembly
too short or long, or sticking?
