NaiChemsya Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 Has anyone moved their e-brake from the footpedal to a middle hadbrake? Or maybe heard of it? If so I would love some tips on this. I already know the current console will have to go and I will sacrafice my armrest and storage. But I can live with this in order to be able to have quick access to me e-brake. Quote
19902drlumina Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 some people have thought about it. not sure if anyone has. ive thought of using a corsica console and hand brake not sure on the cables yet. id tell ya to search but its not up yet Quote
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 I have been thinking about this some. I am beginning to think it might be a WHOLE LOT easier to modify a Fiero hand brake in. The handle would rest on top of the Hood release (for those who have it mounted on the floor), but I dont think I would have a problem with that. I think it might be cleaner since you get to keep your center console, and if you place it far enuf foward, your seat wont get in the way. Also, since the current E-brake cables exit out of the body right there anyways, it might be an easier mod.. Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 FWIW: I think Davis aka Invasion1 is trying to do this also. Quote
NaiChemsya Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Posted March 23, 2006 Down on the left side of my seat just wouldn't be convenient. I want it where I can reach it so I can use my e-brake to sling my rear around. Quote

I don't think that would be any more practical than having the foot pedal, for all intended purposes. Quote
