Hi, I wondering if anyone had bothered to relocate the parkbrake lever to the centre of the car?
I am looking at doing this on my '73.
I just bought a park brake lever from a 964 because the whole assembley sits above the tunnel.

If you done this, tell what and how you did this and a photo if you have it.
Thanks
Geoff.

Hand brake turns in a 914? Come on.

hell ya!

go straight fast, wiggle the steering wheel just a bit right before the turn, press in the clutch, apply handbrake. your ass comes around nicely. (clutch still in) downshift. release clutch and apply throttle ...

in order to do that fast (with the handbrake on the left side) one would have to let go of the steering wheel at one point while releasing the handbrake and downshifting.
with the handbrake in the center, you can do both fast with the right hand while still steering with the left.

try it sometime, it really works!
