Hand Brake Question

PostPost by: Lotus14S2 » Thu Aug 02, 2018 6:24 pm

I have seen photos of a "fly-off" style hand brake...i think on 26R cars.

Is there a fly-off style hand brake system that can be adapted to the standard Elan.
I have a S1, and I hate the standard pull type hand brake.

Thanks for your help.

Hello. I posted some info a while back about fitting a hydraulic handbrake. It wasn?t a fly off one though. It just locked the brakes on and you turned it to let the brakes off. It was fitted to the side of the tunnel and was much easier to reach and operate than the one under the dash. We have a plus 2. The brake lines go down the side of the central tunnel so easy to tap into.
