Default Aftermarket parking brake lever?

Is there an aftermarket parking/emergency brake lever available for under $100? I pulled mine too hard and the cage that traps the cable end opened up.. I could squeeze it shut, but have a feeling it will just spread open again. For a 97 Jeep XJ country..

Solved:.. I squeezed the cage back into shape and then broke off a piece of a drill bit and welded it across the gap.. that sucker shouldn't open up again.
