Here's the initial try at making the spring extender. The first pic shows just bending the coat hangar wire. The second shows the same wire with a loop on the end. My concern is that the coat hangar wire will unbend under the stress of the spring. The thought with what's in the second pic is that once the open end was inserted through the tab on the park brake rod, I would then wrap it around itself to lock it in place. The loop end would have the open loop of the spring inserted into it.
OK, thoughts? Should I upgrade to the spring wire? I'm really not sure how durable the coat hangar wire would be. Totally open to suggestions. Let 'em rip!
