without looking at it I would say weld some flat steel on either side of it and maybe a gusset from the handle down toward the base.?

My question is how are you breaking the ebrake?? If you gotta pull it that hard you have a problem somewhere

Cant say I have ever broken a bracket, or the stock handle. A little pull or tap is all you need, if you are jerking it so hard to break it then you might want to look at your rear brakes, or lay off the roids. We dont need another carrot top running around.

I recommend using something closer to stock pads on the rear because they will lock faster. If you uses something of a "high performance" brake pad then you will have more levels of engagement, if you will, and they will not lock the wheels as easy as a pad closer to stock characteristics
