I've had a good rummage through the posts on here, and there seem to be 3 options - lower the bracket, move it to the RH side, or convert to electric. I actually like the idea of an electric handbrake, but never having used one I've got a few questions. Can anyone enlighten me ... ?
a) With an electric actuator, how do you perform a controlled hill start?
b) Do you need an actuator from another vehicle, or can you use a more generic actuator (if so what?) ?
c) Can you install one without welding?
d) Is a DIY conversion legal? What's an MoT tester going to make of it?
e) Is there a suitable switch that will fit one of the blank spaces on the dash?
Quite a lot of questions, I know, but I'm hoping some of you Transit old-hands can help me out here!
Any photos of an installed actuator would be handy too.
Thanks, Rick
