Post Handbrake mechanism
Ok simple question today I was over vigerous and pulled the handbrake right out. The bolt/whatever it is that holds the actual two levers together had fallen out. Question is is there a specific clip or something that goes here? I've put a bolt on it for now but I guess that after a bit of movement it'll just come loose and fall out again.
thanks

It's a plain pin, with a hole drilled through and an R-clip, like on the gear linkage.

Put a nyloc nut on the bolt...?
