The 914 I bought does not have a hand brake installed. The PO took it out and had the guts re- cad plated but never put it back together or installed it. Good news is I do have the cables, though.

So I installed some 996 seats and I am concerned the original e-brake handle will be jammed into the area next to the new seats

The question I have is:

Has anyone tried using an after market handle like the Lokars pictured? Perhaps in the area between the two seats on a custom fabbed mount?

Any thoughts on the subject?

As always - appreciated in advance.

Personaly , I plan on using a 964 E-brake handle between the seats ,make a custom center console to surround it, lower profile , readily available , easy to mount , can be had with a black leather cover . I was going to use a Boxster , but changed my mind when I looked at the 964's , they where just nice and low , and wouldn't sit up as high as the Boxster. your call as to what you end up with. Just some other ideas. I see you went with what appears to be 924 / 944 door pulls and pockets , look great with the padded pleats on the door panels.
Good luck .....
