Eliminating the "Ebrake Goose' or..., Relocating ebrake handle? Options

[rascobo]

Does anyone know the parts and procedure necessary to relocate the ebrake lever to between the seats as is done in some 914 GTs' and race cars? I have a nice set of 'vette leather seats, that with their stock mounts, motors and hardware removed fit perfectly except that the ebrake handle(somewhat) and the cable balancer and cover (definitely) are in the way. I'd like the easier access to the ebrake as well (and let's not forget eliminating the 'goose' factor).

I'll post some pics of my '73 4.3L widebodied conversion soon. I just need to figure out how to take a photo with my new digital 'Do Everthing' camera, somewhere in the manual between how it cooks popcorn and how to watch the finals of the 'World Team Chess' championships in the view finder) and wait for the rain to let up here in Portland..... uh, lets change that 'soon' to eventually.

I liiiike it! Simple, strong, and clean. Hope it is as straight forward as it looks. Thanks for sharing it, I almost decided against the relocation if it involved so much cutting to, and inclusion of even more hardware into the already cramped tunnel. Unfortunately, while adding antifreeze last night, found 1/2 cup of oil in the overflow tank, but no coolant in oil (must of been naughty this year). Until I resolve this issue I might be delayed in brake project, but would liked to be appraised of Your progress. I just might get my new seats installed after all. Thanks for sharing your plans.
