Re-Positioning the handbrake in an RMC.
Unfortunately, I have had to do this as the floor pans on an RMC are far narrower than on most other Cobra kits.
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...unt_Small_.jpg This is where I originally had the handbrake mounted, but when I tried to put the MX5 seats into the car, the seat on the driver's side wouldn't fit because of the handbrake mechanism. This really peeved me off as I had coloured the handbrake handle in walnut to match the rest of the wood grain in the cockpit. I looked at obtaining thinner seats, but finally settled on the plan to purchase a different type of handbrake and mount it on top of the transmission tunnel, behind the gear selector. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...ion_Small_.jpg This is the new hand brake positioned on the transmission tunnel. Note that it has been recessed down into the tunnel and will be incorporated into the new consul which is currently being built. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...low_Small_.jpg This photo shows the two mounting brackets from underneath and also the extension which was welded to the new handbrake assembly to allow for more efficient travel.

G,Day Baz,
This is what I did with my RMC hand brake.[IMG]url=http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=67935]http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...e_handle_1.jpg[/url][/IMG] |
Damn I stuffed up on loading the pic.

Looks good Baz.
I've been looking at relocating mine. The stock position in the CR does tend to bang against you knee as your driving. A few have relocated it to the top of the tunnel. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...Cobra_Dash.jpg There's no steel structure to attach it to though since the CR has a fiberglass tunnel. I'll probably make a bracket to hang it off the back of the gear box where the original shifter went. Cheers |

Thanks Mike, for enlarging the pic. I'm more at home in the shed than on the puter.

I put mine in the middle too
