paul cardy Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Having proceded whith the project of converting my de dion car to an underdash handbrake and assembled what i hoped would be all the parts required !! i have the following problem. How the new cable operates with the origional ( with the underdash arrangment the outer cable is moved by the hand brake level ) does an origional car have a mounting bracket in the tunnel to secure the new cable ? Any photos any one may have that can help would be appreciated Edited by - paul cardy on 6 Jun 2010 19:59:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonpa Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Why would you want an under-dash handbrake? If you don't want the handle in the tunnel, wouldn't a line lock be a whole lot simpler (and work)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonpa Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I thought this was intended to be a track-only car. I could be wrong, tho'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
