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 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1279679975.1.jpg) 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? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1279679977.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1279679977.3.jpg) Any thoughts on the subject? As always - appreciated in advance. Rob |

I'm running a hydraulic brake between the seats taped into the rear line. My car has 930 brakes and the PO gutted the hat. So I had no factory e-brake parts to start with.

That does work , but IIRC state laws (Your's may differ ) require that the hand brake / e-brake/ parking brake setup to be mechanical , seperate from the hydraulic system .YMMV... Jack / Jaxdream |
