Default Nice work!
Hey,
just following along, try to get me own build back on track after some strange covid delays. Great work so far I am impressed especially with your ability to rebuild a tranny on the kitchen table! Very understanding partner, wow.
But I have a question if we could back up for a moment.
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but.....
Where did you get that excellent parking brake handle? All I seem to find in my searches is a generic looking street rod builder piece. Yours is the one I am seeking so if you or anyone else wants to chime it I would really like to know where it came from.
Thanks!

I was fortunate. I found a member here with a SPF 289 FIA race car who no longer needed their parking brake handle and sold me theirs. You might check with Superformance or look for an OEM Jaguar XKE handle. Building one of these cars with a semblance of originality takes some work.

And a lot of wine.

We have supplied the SPF handle assembly.

Thank you gentlemen,
My build is just slowly getting underway, I have been gathering parts when I find them.
Sadly I am not in the position to build an exact nut and bolt copy but would like to add enough correct looking pieces to make me smile when I am out for a drive .
I have checked out you website Mark IV and I will be in touch soon about a handle assembly and perhaps one or two other parts.
