Handbrake lever
Hi guy's
Many many years ago I owned a Ford Corsair I told you it was a long while ago, but I digress, and in it the handbrake was under the dash don't
know the tech term for it and wondered if a) possibility of something along this line for my lowcost and b) sva compliance.
Any suggestions info greatly appretiated
Thanks

thats what were using on my brothers mk indy.
we have the mechanism off a citroen gs.
loads better than the lever in the armpit or the out of reach when strapped in versions you see in most locosts.

Stats, they call the 'umbrella handle' handbrake levers, dure to the resemblance to, well, and umbrella handle (god I'm sharp
aren't I!). I think that Bedford Midi vans have them fitted, as do Nissan Cabstars and the aforementioned Citroen GS. They are neat and the only
issue I can see is the usual radius one.

In Canada the ford courirer 1981 anyway (same as early mazdas pickups)had the hand brake as a "T" handle that was pulled straight out
from under the dash and released with a twist of the handle. It was a very neat clean instalation that was not in the way - but still easy to use for
uses other than parking.
