Angry Emergency brake assembly

I was working on the emergency brake mechanism that is between the driver seat and the rocker panel and unfortunately a small part fell into a gap in the bodywork. It cannot be retrieved. Any thought on where I can buy a whole used assembly? The part is not shown on most websites and is quite small.

Have you tried a rod with a magnet glued to the end, or a shopvac with a McGyver'd narrow suction end to get in and pick it up?

Well it fell into small space between two body pieces and then I could hear it hit the bottom of the rocker panel. The hole is far too small for a shop vac or a retrieving magnet but those are good ideas.

Hi MF

You can get an inspection Camera on ebay for about £10 which plugs into your Smartphone and I think that some of them may also have a magnet or a hook on the end
