How difficult is it to change the E Brake handle?

[CaliLifeStyle]

I'm gonna buy one of those chrome e brake handles from MGW. How difficult is it to change it out? What's involved?

I believe it is pretty difficult... Also, you might want to consider the fact that billet/metal e brake handles are teh ghey...

I don't care what anyone thinks. What's holding the handle on?

I will look in my Haynes manual tonight and see if there are instrcutions on it...

I am not sure but I think those slide over your existing handle and are held on by a set screw.

Where did you get your Haynes manual from? Every auto parts store I go to doesn't have one for a Mustang.

Really. That would be cool.

I know this is kinda off topic but, what year did they start putting the leather boot on the e-brake handle? Mine is a 2000 GT and doesn't have one and looks like ass because you can see down in there.

2001 I think. You can buy one from Ford or from another place. I don't remember the name. I think it was RedLine something.

i actually like that the way it is, would match up nicely with my steeda billet pieces. Make sure you post some pics of the interior when your done. Do you have alot of chrome interior parts?

Just the stuff you see in my sig. I thought I would go with a European look because the 10th Anniversary Cobra boot looks very Euro like. Especially with the billet shifter ring. I'm gonna go with that handle, two tone chrome AC knobs, Chrome door locks, and a chrome Eject Button all from MGW.

I apologize for calling billet ghey... Everyone has their likes and dislikes. Its not Altezza or anything at least...

It's all good.

I have that handle. It does just slip over the factory handle and is held on with a set screw.

Awesome. Thanks.

My '03 has the plastic handle. Is it just a Cobra thing? I have leather interior but plastic e-brake handle. This sucks, I know so much about the fox cars(you know, usless stuff), yet sooooo little about the SN95's.............
