Roger that, Otto! I found one in the closet that is pretty stout. I may create ithe extender so that I can wrap the ends around the middle, once it is installed on the rod. Probably create a loop for the spring to attach to.
Interesting side note: the original park brake spring extender from my truck ws 11" long, not 8 3/4" as mentioned in other posts. The shorter extender is from the regular brake pedal. I'll try to fashion my new extender to match what came off of my truck. Maybe it'll make attaching the spring a little easier than what others have reported.
