418A Parking brake.

I knew it when I bought it but the parking brake does not work. Dangerous at times. Once opened up I can only think that I am missing some sort of linkage and cannot find a good schematic.

Does this make sense?

Thank you Garry, I had a look, figured out that i had everything there just needed adjustment on the connecting rod. No more rolling backwards every time I get off. This mother is heavy!

Excellent.

BUT.....The adjustment spring on the other side of the rail allowed the cam plate to rotate enough to let the pawl engage, but now that spring adjustment is all loose and floppy- does not seem right.
