Handbrake options
Hi
What are the options for handbrakes.
Currently on sierra rear discs but about to change to wilwood power lite rear brake kit.
Currently the car has the handbrake handle of what looks like sierra item mounted on top of the tunnel but right where I want my arm.
What options are there to move it, baring in mind the new brake kit?
Cheers

Strikers have the handbrake on the side of the tunnel passenger side works well

The older Caterhams have the handbrake under the dashboard on the passenger side.

Will try and search about.
My last kit had it under dash and pulled it towards yourself to put it on. Twist to release

On my old fury I had a sierra handbrake mounted inside the tunnel, bit of a squeeze but easy fit if you bend one of the brackets. This was an option
rather than putting it on the outside. When release it was fine with the gearstick although it looks tight in the pictures.
Finished it off with a bit of faux carbon escutcheon and a brush type letter box draft excluder.

Not sure about putting it in the tunnel. I should have room as there no gbox in there.
Don't fancy it on the side though.
How have you mounted your ka one? Any pics?
Thanks for the input all

I've inset mine into the tunnel so its flush when its off.
 
Handbrake sunk into tunnel
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but was quite a big job in the end.

That looks sweet. I put the handbrake in the passenger footwell and no complaints (or handbrake turns) so far!!!!!
But that looks great.

Glad everyone likes it. 
I'm fortunate in that I have access to some very useful stuff at work.
The ally trim was cut out on a CNC mill (it'd look rather different if i'd done it by hand)
The Tub/Bowl underneath was 3D printed by a mate who has a 3D printer.

After Id done it I realised I'd made routing the rear brake pipe, loom, fuel lines etc much more "interesting".
