Handbrake

Really daft question. I need to cobble together a button for the handbrake lever. I will make something, but just curious, is it common for the end to fall off!

Unusual, in my experience! However, making something suitable that will stay in place, but also move to depress the pin might be challenging?
As your carpets are up, I would have thought it would be easier to fit a replacement handbrake lever.
If it's of any use, I will have a good used one.

Thank you. Actually the pin is part of the old button so can be used as, well, a pin, to help fix a new « cap » on. I will try chopping up a rubber bung and gluing it on (not very elegant but might do the job) before I scrap the handbrake.

Not too hard to remove handbrake. Have shiny new knob if the expoxy holds it in place. Sometimes its the simple jobs that are the most satisfying!
