Centre mount parkbrake?, Centre mount parkbrake Options

[rhd914]

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.

Why all the effort? Cool factor?

Not really. I'm too old to be cool (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Mine started with a standard brake upgrade to S-Calipers and a 911 Koni front suspension.

I then needed to add the 911 M-Caliper rear caliper.

I then had no handbrake.

I was upgrading my 911 to aluminum rear control arms.

I had an extra set of 911 e-brake assemblies.

I heard they fit.

I tried it and they did.

I had an extra 911 hand brake from an earlier project.

I saw some factory "rally" GT cars with the 911 handbrake

Hand brake turns in a 914? Come on.

Yes, they're pretty handy at the end of a slalom for the 180 turn around. Read Vic Elfords book and about taking a corner backward (not that I would ever try that...) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

Tired of short ramblings? Summary: I wanted a larger brake "system" and the only way to get a good handbrake was to use the 911 e-brake assembly. I like the idea of center mount better and I had all the parts. I've yet to mount the handle but it will be soon (as soon as I get this damn 914-6 out of the garage) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)
