gauging interest in a new product we made to see if classic owners really want to have a E-brake handle that won't break!

Here are some pictures of our prototype Billet Aluminum E-Brake handles- input is welcome

FRONT THAT SAYS BRAKE


REAR THAT FITS ON TO ORIGINAL SHAFT


COMPARED TO ORIGINAL


WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE CAR

I would take one!

Now if you can just make a cooler one for the Auto Shifter! That would be the real winner. I don't want to have to put an aftermarket shifter on mine but I just don't care for the original's handle.

Looks nice but not when it's installed. Out of place IMO but I'm not part of the "stick billet where I can" crowd. If it's stronger (which I'm sure it is) and makes it easier to use the e-brake then it's all good, but I'd prefer it in black.

I'd rather have a bolt-on kit for a center-mounted e-brake handle.

It's "no me gusta.: Pero no hay mucho hacemos, que te gusta.

Yeah, not billet just to have it. It hurts when those damn things break, if the sleeve pulls off.

Haha, es que todo persona dice quando empiezo hablando. No lo comprenden. Es chisto porque Rich no habla mierda en espanol. Solo, "taco'', ''Burrito'', y "gracias''
Waiting to find out how much anodizing will add to it.

As a side note how do you remove the old handle? mines broken-go figure!

If it was black I'd seriously think about it. Honestly, I'd prefer a leather wraped one (not made of billit) because that billit is going to be HOT during the summer. Park it and come back then go to take the parking brake off and now you got a burned hand... ouch.

I think it would look really good in a 67 with deluxe interior.

Nice piece overall, I'm interested in one that has been coated black. Keep us updated on the cost info =)
