Do you mean just the handle? Yes, I'd be interested.
(I'd also be interested to know how to repair/replace just the ratchet spring on the stock A100 emergency brake handle assembly).

I'm in for one if you get them made.
Just let me know.

I fixed the original ratchet mechanism with a new spring; I'll try to find my post about it and post it here.

Here it is; although not that good to understand; it's just a small round spring with ca. 3-4 rounds to hold the clip properly to the ratcheted handle.

Thanks, PM sent to 69.
Didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Just for everyone interested.
I completely disassembled the front cable assembly - last step is to remove the pulley up and out.
Then you get hold of the little retainer clip and can reinstall with a small spring. For reference, I made a screenshot of that German shop where I bought that little spring with all its technical details (remember, it's Millimeter, not inch - and if you click on that image, you'll get a bigger image to easily read the numbers).
Re-installing the ball-end of the front cable might be a bit tricky, but absolutely do-able.
