Abstract
A brake lever assembly can be assembled by providing a housing coupling the brake lever assembly to a vehicle, a brake lever pivotally attached to the housing, and a reinforcing plate mounted on the housing. The reinforcing plate can be secured to a top surface of the housing and to a side surface of the housing. The assembly can also include a parking lever pivotally mounted on the brake lever. The pivoting of the parking lever, during actuation of the brake lever, can cause a tip of the parking lever to engage the reinforcing plate. This maintains actuation of the brake lever. The assembly can further include a brake light actuation switch mounted on the reinforcing plate. The actuation of the brake lever actuates the brake light actuation switch.
