has anyone put a shorter E-Brake handle in? if so where did you get it? pictures would be great...i really want to do this since our stock e-brake handle is soooo damn long.

if you take your consol out you can see that the handle is nothin more then (bolted) it's more of a rivit deal with 2 ends...its hard to explain...but if you can pop off the "rivits" then you can get another e-brake and make your own holes and just put the little bolts right back through...its not just a handle...it actually has a flat metal piece that gets rivited to the actual assembly..i think you can get any e-brake to work its just that a toyota or lexus would be easier to modify.

I don't think it is that simple with the MR2 handbrake. Overall, I think you are right - there are probably other toyota or lexus brakes that we can just swap in or modify by poping the rivets and swapping out bits. But the MR2 handbrake isn't one of them and here is why:  On the left we have the MR2 handbrake, on the right, a Celica handbrake (which happens to have a modified handle - but more about that later). You can clearly see that the rivet positions and the operation of the handbrake switch is quite different. But here is the killer:Radius of the ratchet on the Celica handbrake: 75mm. Radius of the ratchet on the MR2 handbrake: 68mm. Now, about that modified handle: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=64906 This post has been edited by BloodyStupidDavey: Jan 17, 2009 - 5:05 PM -------------------- Davey
