Hand brake is at your left knee ..... bonnet catch is at your right knee. Which one is it? :eh:

AFAIK the dealers still carry them, but you gonna have to cough and have the Vaseline ready. Alternative is scrap yards but even if you find one that looks OK, how long before it also breaks .... you take a chance.

What is actually broken? .... Just the grip?
