Major Part of the Heart and Soul of AULRO
SubscriberDoes anyone know whether the Defender handbrake (just the handle part, not the brake itself) can be modified without any roadworthy issues arising ?
I was thinking it would be a good idea to get a new one fanricated up, with a kink in it (2 right angles) so that the handle was closer to the trans tunnel - allowing more left leg room.

It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

Vlad,
I don't know about QLD, but in Vic it wouldn't effect your roadworthy. They stopped calling them emergency brakes in the seventies when they came up with split braking systems.

Seen a few builds with Disco handbrake mechanisms mounted to an adapted greabox tunnel - so more central.

Hi Vlad
Just remove it alltogether and carry a rock in your tray to use as a LAND BRAKE (ala The Gods Must Be Crazy) [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
Seriously,it shouldnt be that hard to make up a custom handle using the exsisting release mechanism.
