There's a design flaw with the parking brake Jeeps of Brutus' era. The little tab pictured at the end of the green spring rotates forward and the brake has too much slack in it. So, I drilled a hole in the tab, found a brake spring at the auto parts store, and connected it to another bracket that already had a hole in it. There's just enough tension on the spring that it keeps the tab pulled back and keeps the e-brake working perfectly. It's important to have working, especially in a manual on the trails. You often want to jump out to check things when you're on a slope, and don't want to have to stop the engine to do so. Happy with my hack!
