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. |

If you wann be really clever.... & only for handbrake turns install a 4th foot pedal which solely connects to the rear calipers.
Then you can do all those handbrake turns without taking your hands off the wheel. Similar setup has been used on rally cars in the past before hydraulic handbrakes came into play. McLaren F1 fitted some of their cars in the 90's with 4 pedal. No pedal accutated cluth though. Clutch is by hand. They had main brake pedal all 4 wheels. Left side brakes, Right side brakes. & Accelerator. Heading into a tight turn drivers could drag the inside brakes & eliminate understeer. Same principle was used during the active suspension F1 era. |
