Okay; found 740 to buy but...

Same e-brake system as a 240-- same shoes and hardware that is, but different cabling. Best to get new bracket & associated hardware at the dealer. If it isn't the bracket, suspect the right rear short cable next-- they wear out quickly if the guide bushings on the axle and diff housing wear through. None of that stuff is expensive, but it is a pain to put together. Check that the lever/actuators at the caliper pivot at both joints-- lubricate them with antiseize once they are moving well.

Good luck!
