seem hard to find

It's easier to replace the rear axle.
I replaced the axis.

Why do you need one?

[gasbo]

because the teeth are worn on it

[Noctule]

I've cut new teeth in with a tiny triangular file the the past. I'd bought a Transit that had poor back brakes, it turned out that on one side the teeth had rusted together meaning it wouldn't adjust. The was just enough of the original teeth left to know where to cut. The teeth didn't appear to be case hardened (that doesn't mean they're not), and I didn't have any bother from it again.

I was restoring my teeth on such ratchets (jagged sects) with a sharp chisel.
He put the point of a chisel in the hollow between his teeth and beat.
Some of the metal was squeezed, part rose up.
Older machines erased teeth on ratchet mechanisms, due to corrosion, the holes were enlarged and the ratchet axis was thinner.
Because of this, a bad gear between the teeth and the incorrect operation of the handbrake.
It is necessary to obtain a reliable contact between the teeth of the ratchet mechanism
