Default E-brake broke on my 87 GT

Last year I was sitting in a drive way it was slitly up hill, so I put the e-break on and the handle went all the way back, something broke, I later found a piece of metal on the ground. I havent been able to get under my car I dont have any acces to a lift. I need to fix my e-brake in order for it to pass a sticker.

any ideas on what I need to fix it?

you havent given us any information aside from "its broken"

thats like walking into the doctors office and saying... "DOC... it hurts!"

be more specific, post pictures, jack the car up and crawl under it.... hell... back one tire up onto a curb if you have to, so you can get under the back end, or even both tires, then slide under from the side.... be creative... ive used 2x8 wood plans as ramps before....

Is there an adjustment near the e brake handle to tighten the cable a little?

I will see if I can get under there. I let some borrow my two lift stands. Does anyone have a site for a new e-brake?
