Handbrake handle

[walshydub]

I've been fighting with my handbrake handle for a few months now and nothing seems to work.

The round pin type arrangement at the base of the handle where it pivots keeps dislodging itself. It always comes out on the left side which stops it from locking when you pull it up.

I've tried tightening the cables and slacking them off. I've tried bending the metal inwards where it sits to hold it in. I've tried using zip ties to hold it all in place (bit desperate) but every time i think i've fixed it it goes again within a few days and it's starting to pee me off as it's such a pain to get to!

Is there any tried and tested methods to permanently fix it?

Cheers
