Hello, I am trying to track down a parking brake acuating lever (right hand/passenger side) for the 10in x 2.5 drum brakes in my 1990 Ford Ranger 4x4 2.9 litre. This is the lever that sits inside the drum, attaches to the parking‑brake cable, and pushes the shoe. The Ford Part Number is F47Z‑2A637‑A (Bendix 3204549-R) but has been discontinued for some time and readily available rebuild kits don't include this item. Apparently, the 91-94 Explorer had the same drum brakes as well as the Bronco II 89-90 and the Mazda B series from 94-2000. I have tried multiple outlets with no success as well as scapyards, etc. If anyone know where I might locate this part, please let me know. The truck is undergoing a rebuild and this missing piece is hold things up. The drivers side lever is in good condition- see attached photo, the passenger side which is a 'mirror' image was missing and some 'bricolage' was apparently done but didn't really work. Thanks very much for any advice. Parking Brake Actuating Lever- left hand side
