Ron, Just a 30 degree wedge of aluminium or suitable plastic, thick enough
to more or less fill the slot, and about 2 - 2.5 ins long works well, and as
a refinement drill a hole in the fat end and put a large key ring through
it, which stops it going down the slot, if your brake gets that loose (which
of course it shouldn't!), serves to hang it over the brake handle when not
in use, and acts as a loop to put your finger in to pull it out of the slot
when taking off the 'handbrake'
