Our answer to the handbrake problem. How to make it reachable from the drivers seat.

.

The problem is simple, using the handbrake mountings onto the floor and the handbrake is positioned so low one just cant reach it nomatter how hard one pulls against the 4 point harness.

Solution tip the front or raise the whole thing. We chose to tip the front. Whichever method you use the pull hole for the clevis pin is now not under the floor. We have mounted a pulley under the floor and problem solved. However you will find the geometry trickey. Another problem may be the seat missing the handbrake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

No we don't have 2, reflections are a problem with the polished SS. Yeah we still need to make a cover. Just in case you ask the wiring is for the heated seats (taken from a Volvo 440 GLT).
