hey gang -
i pulled off my center console and painted it using some gloss black vinyl paint. i was going to re instal it tonight but i started looking at my emergency break and levers.
so the question is.
are there after market parts that i could use to replace the emergency brake handle? I'm guessing the levers that control air are too specific to this car to have after market parts.
but i was thinking any e brake handle would work.
thoughts? ideas ?
thanks!!!

Re: after market e brakes?
what is wrong with the stock one? very rarely have i seen a problem with one, a few get bent and the rachet may fail. but replacements are abundant. or are you just looking to customize, which there is nothing wrong with that

I don't know how easy it would be to adapt, but they make lots of pretty ones for the hot rod crowd. Pick up a Street Rodder magazine.

I just wanted to customize!!!!!! Lol the plastic is chewed up. So all the polishing in the world won solve that.
Orr would it?! No. No it wouldn't!

Re: after market e brakes?
Boy seems like dialing in the e-brake mechanicals on my 82' has always been a pain in the ass and not a long lasting "fix", where does the problem come from the linkage or at the caliper itself? Thanks
