I wasn't happy with the location of the hand brake on my CR chassis. It used an MGB lever and was mounted on the side of the tunnel. It looked nice and traditional but it dig into your knee when driving. It also limited the options for mounting the seats and being able to adjust the runners.
I decided to make something a bit more user friendly so developed a new hand brake mount. It uses a Lokar lever that attaches to the T56 gear box where the original shifter went. It turned out pretty nice and with the removable tunnel top it's dead easy to get to and adjust.
I'm thinking with the removable tunnel top I might have a go at giving it an engine turned finish and make it a bit of a feature of the interior.
Cheers
