Yes I think the Tester would tumble that one pretty quick.
It's easier to run the Handbrake cable back through the Bulkhead & attach it with a Clevis to the Footbrake pedal.
They never twigged it on my old Elite
That Car looks as though its been prepared for some sort of competition work though & I bet the Driver's got a Wardrobe full of Trousers with holes in the left Leg.

I can't believe how long this threads gone on for & there still seems to be some mileage left in it yet :)

Cheers
John
