The Truck-Lite part no. for my bee-hive light is 25762Y for the Lamp, or 25062Y for a kit which includes a plug (95119) so you can make up your own harness. Both part nos. can be found on the Internet from any number of suppliers, including Amazon.Com. I hope this helps a member save some money, getting an OEM lamp for under $10.00.

Stupid Dents. I had wondered why anybody would have put a piece of diamond plate over the edge of the gate.

Eh, It's the same lever bracket that was I looking for before. No one seems to have one. No idea where to get one.

Nope, I've already scoured rock.

The way the Toyota E-Brake system works, is that there is a large lever (called a bell-crank) that sticks out of the backing plate on each drum, and a short cable hooks onto the lever and pulls it. The E-Brake cables do not go into the backing plate like typical American stuff.

The bracket that holds the bell-crank is made out of aluminum. Unfortunately the bell crank bracket on the drivers side disintegrated from corrosion, so It needs to be replaced.

Sounds similar to my 97 escort. But no aluminum bracket, all steel. Maybe its time to swap to a newer rear end. Surprised you can't find anything in California, or its not a removable part
