IanB Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I'm converting my 2000 model year race car for road use. Although built in 2000 it has under dash handbrake fixings (Bruce at Arch confirmed that cars built for Superlight Challenge in those days were constructed with this sort of chassis).Does anyone have any suggestions where I might find a suitable handbrake lever? Chris at Redline doesn't have them though can supply the other parts and Caterham don't have the levers either .Might anyone have a second hand one please?Thank you for your help.

7 wonders of the world Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 ISTR it was a Herald lever.... with an aditional bend..!https://www.canleyclassics.com/?catalogue=triumph-herald-13/60&diagram=triumph-herald-13/60-handbrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkeywood Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 If it is Triumph then Rimmer Bros might be able to help but I'm not sure it was Herald. IIRC the original Triumph Herald / Spit / GT6 levers were all U section levers with a short tubular section for the grip. The Caterham supply has a longer tubular section down to the business end. The ratchet plate mounting also looks different from that detail. Here's the Caterham one fitted (with rust to identify where you bend it!)
