6N2 Handbrake bolt

First post!

Hi all,

Wondering if the group could shed a little light on a problem I have on my 6N2. My handbrake has come loose from the chassis and has a magnificent amount of travel before it engages. Upon closer inspection it seems there should be a bolt securing the bottom bracket of the handbrake to the actual chassis...it ain't there! I've tried getting my fingers in there but it's rather tight and, even if I could manage, would it simply be a change of bolt? Anyone had this issue before and manage to fix it?

Thanks in advance!
