Vinman1 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Need to put a Handbrake assembly in my 1979 RHD Seven. Looking for info on what car the handbrake lever and other bits for the set up came from? I know it is odd in that the sheath moves rather than the cable, and the lever has to be modified (i.e. Bent) for use under the Seven dash/cowl area. Any info advise greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted June 14, 2023 Member Share Posted June 14, 2023 Have you got a copy of Weale's book? If not I'll have a look when I get home. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_w Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I bought what I'm fairly sure was the last handbrake Caterham had. It didn't have the barrel so I had to make my own. I spent a lot of time trying to work out the source with no joy, so I would try Redline or Mike Brotherwood http://www.mikebrotherwood.com/Parts.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinman1 Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 Thanks guys for the inputs and links. I have the Weale book which is where I learned about the handbrake operation. I have reached out the several possible sources. What the handbrake handle came from seems to be the greatest mystery with Sevens. Will update with any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
