what cars had the handbrake coming out of the dash?
I'm planning a car with the handbrake on the front wheels, so a traditional handbrake lever seems wrong. What cars had a handbrake lever in the
dash?
Are dash handbrake levers SVAable?

My grandfather had the coolest car in the world or at least we thought so as kids...knobs n buttons everywhere weird sticky out indicators you had to
flick a switch left or right to operate,even a push button to start it...handbrake was next to the steering wheel...Wolsley 444! cooler than owt that
was.

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Lotus Elan! I just happen to have one of these handbrake levers I was going to use it on my build but ended up using a Range Rover one instead. U2U me
if you want it.
If you stick it in the "safe area" around the sterering wheel it should not cause SVA problems.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
