Have you thought about changing the 4A hand brake lever for a TR5 or 6 one ? They are the more normal ratchet type rather than fly-off.
Classic car Restoration & Repair - salisbury

We have had both our cars restored at CCRR. One in the time of Peter Marks, the other when Ian Slark took charge. Both are still looking good and can ben seen on the Chiltern TRs website at www.chiltern-trs.co.uk/rebuilds.htm .
Peter Marks reluctantly had to give up the fight with ICI over compensation as it had cost him just about all he owned and was likely to drag on forever. He decided to sell the business to Ian Slark (his apprentice) and another guy called Keith Nimmo. Ian subsequently took sole ownership. Peter, now totally disappointed, retired to teach wind surfing at Poole.
Ian is a good, reliable guy; his work seems to just get better and better. His father (Brian), and his brother, build race engines in anothet part of the building.
Hope that helps.
Peter
