Mx5 handbrake

Hi all on the hunt for a few odd bits, mainly after a mx5 handbrake but if anyone is breaking an mx5 I may have a few other bits like gear gator, also if anyone has a bike exhaust clamp spare I could get for beer tokens and any info were to get battery wire.
Cheers in advance

I am also after a handbrake for an MX5 build and have not seen many about. Have been wondering if these would work. I realise they are listed to go with the powerlite brakes but is there any reason why they wouldnt work. Didnt think £50 for new kit was to bad (if it works).

I've got an MX5 handbrake lever that I've decided against using on my car.
I'll dig it out and get a photo sorted this evening...

Look a good kit, I have a sierra handbrake like the first link but after an mx5 one as im wanting it mounted at the side of my tunnel, idea from a friend that pointed out its a pain to put the hand brake on whilest sat in the seats.

Does anyone know if the cable kit will work with the mx5 rear calipers?

The RD lever isn't quite a Sierra one - the mounting tabs are both on the same side and it appears to have no provision for a switch.

I don't think the cables would work easily because there is no way to clamp the cables at the caliper end as per the MX5 item.

Couldn't find the lever, but I've since remembered where it is, so will go and have another rummage shortly.

Samjc are u planning to fit the mx5 lever to the inside of the passengers side seating area? Would be very interested to see how this looks as the tunnel is very congested on mine
