Abstract
A flat lever (314) for use in a blind-cable-connection parking brake system is formed by stamping from sheet steel stock. At one end, the lever is adapted for pivotal connection with a backing plate, and at its other end, the lever is stamped to defined opposed spaced inclined ramp (314a) and helical guide spring support (314b) portions integral with the lever. In order to properly orient the guide spring relative to the ramp, the guide spring support includes a support ledge (314d) for supporting one end of the spring (320) relative to a spring-receiving opening formed in the guide spring support portion.
