Modified handbrake

I have seen on here pictures of Fury/Striker/Phoenix etc with a lever system to increase the effectiveness of the handbrake.....but now I can't find the topic

Has anyone got pictures of their solution? I seem to remember one solution that was 'bolt on' with only a couple of holes needed in the chassis.

That'd be my car. I'll post pics later but if you search for handbrake or wilwood under my name you should find some posts.

What callipers have you got?

Wilwood Powerlites. The handbrake version has poor leverage which, when linked to the modified Sierra lever supplied with my car, gave very little feel or power.
