Whaler,
I've got a brand new chrome 16" brake handle for sale at $ 50.00
Let me know. I've got pics if you need.

Hello Whaler,

I used the Gennie cables to the two emergency brake calipers on the Jag rear end of my Unique. I used the handle from Finishline with its existing bracket.

Works great....

Brake Handle and cables!
I used the Lokar unit and cables. It mounted easily and looks great, a bit pricy but what isn't in this industry of kit cars and hot rods.

Did you use the floor/side mount model or the trans mount model??

I will try to post pics of both

The handle from Enzo looks like the side mount. I mounted it to the tunnel on the passenger side, it comes with a U braket that works fine.

Whaler: I used the floor mounted unit, they also sell a nice boot and ring for the handle. Their cables for it are also very nice. Heavy steel sleeve in a plastic cover with the wound stainless steel wire cable. One only needs to cut to length, lubricate and install.

You used the Gennie floor job?
Was it easy to mount?
For the boot and ring it is additionally charged correct?
Where did you mount it exactly. Tunnel top or Floor
Good to hear the feedback

Whaler I just installed a new handle from a Feiro still avalible from GM works great, even when on handle goes down.

Whaler: I used the Floor mounted unit from Lokar. The boot and ring are extra, like all stuff for these cars. I mounted it on top of the tunnel between the seats alittle towards the passenger side.
Not very difficult at all. Hope this helps. Check out Lokar at lokar.com.
