Talking of handbrakes.........
I made a carbon roof in a day but have spent more time trying to decide on how to release the handbrake
The Rally Design unit is designed to be used in an exposed location, not covered by a console. The release is a simple latch that is lifted by hand. However it is inaccessible under the console.
So I need to work out some kind of opperating mechanism that is accessible and neat. Simplest would be a rod and knob fitted vertically to one end of the latch, either to pull or push the latch. I also thought of a bowden cable strapped to the handle but this would have to be detatchable so the handle could be removed.
Any ideas? Are there any such items already out there that I could adapt?
