Does anyone have some images of how the spring is supposed to sit between the shaft and the handle for the parking brake on a 3800?

CBall,

Here is a pic from my FAM showing the parking brake diagram for a 3800 with the transmission mounted parking brake handle.

Does this give you what you need??? headscratch

EDIT: Steve L.'s pictures are more useful than mine. Thanks Steve!

CBall,

Just in case you didn't catch it, the original GM# 373980 for that spring is displayed in the FAM picture. You can use that as the starting point for a web search to see if anyone is offering one for sale.

You can also post an ad in the Truck Parts Wanted forum.
