Hand brake possy.

Hi Guys

Anyone found that the handbrake lever is too low? Mind you I have well padded high back seats which may well be causing the problem. Anyone know of a simple conversion to a higher lever? Problably doesn't help that you have to reef on the thing so hard.

What happens if you do a handbrake turn in a tranny..... probably fall over . I'm not game to try, must be getting old.

I don't bother using the handbrake! It's to far away!

how do you get round those tight corners?

how about fitting a mk3 handbrake? is that higher up? also it might fit the same mountings!
certanly the mk6 handbrake is higher up!!
just a thought

If its anything like the MK2 unit im sure you could make a steel extension for it to sit on and just extend the rod that goes from the lever to the pivot under the floor

Yep, just had a crawl under the beast and came to the same conclusion.

ps Could probably make it into a kit form and sell on ebay!
