Bud,
My car's at home and I'm at work, so I can't look at it right now... but I
think that the cable and Tee handle assembly itself provides the locking
feature. I would guess it utilizes an off-round shaft that catches only
when turned in the socket. Yours may not lock due to wear. If it is the
cable, Moss and Vicki-Brit sell the cable/tee handle combo's for about $11.
I'm sure someone out there knows how they really work. Anyone?
Scott
