Handbrake

manukarose1, Dec 22, 1:22am
Hey guys, got my car in for a warrant - needs a new handbrake - we got the part - how long would you estimate it would take for qualified mechanics to put the handbrake in!

Car: Holden Commodore Berlina 1982.
(I know it's a tricky job).

The bit with the knob. the bit where you put your hand and pull!

Is that the broken part!

Bit below the belt , if that part is broken then you have a problem

An hours labour would be my guess.

This time of the yearrates are double in last week prior to xmassso couple ton in labour plus parts

manukarose1, Dec 22, 2:13am
No his rates aren't double and we supplied the part. (lol cheap aren't i!).

manukarose1, Dec 22, 2:14am
