A reasonable home remedy for worn hand brake rods.....
Pick up some 1/4" steel rod at any mason supply or large home improvment 
store. cut it to length, heat up the ends, mash em with a big hammer, 
drill holes in them where the pins go.
I have made a couple, I also used a 1/4 x 20 threaded coupling and 
treaded the rods for an under the axle adjustment link.
I have no plans for this, it was just a do it as needed type repair.
I know I made my own on my Bugeye and for the A40.
