I'm thinking of duplicating my set that are on my car. Should I consider making several? I have searched and found none anywhere....

The ones on our buggy as a kid were the ones that pull up, and pivoting on the main handle pivot. Has anybody seen any like that lately?

Got a few issues first (like new front brakes on the Blue car and throttle pedal fix on the Orange one, but once those items are completed I'll pull the brake handles and get some sets made. Once done I'll let you guys know.

Bill,
  Thanks for your reply!  Do you have any pictures?  I am looking for a top shot and how the back part of the handle attaches to the brake cable.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Vince.


I just got my levers off the Manx. Should get new ones fabricated next week. Was busy getting some other chores done like getting my old EMPI valve covers off my Orange Manx to sell on Samba ;-)

I have a pair just like that but have yet to come up with a way of fitting them so they'll work with the stock parking brake. Any tips?

yes use bolt with washers to replace stock pin brake handle. mount steer handle so tab for cable faces in. the park brake lever remains in place. the tabs from both levers rest on top of stock lever.to park car use one hand to keep steer levers together on top of stock lever and the other hand to pull up on stock brake. the ratchet will keep the whole thing up in park. push stock button to release and lower steer handles back down on top of stock lever. you may have to give them a little custom bend so they fit nicely. with practice you get the two hand motion trick down. what happens with out two hands the lever will just part the two levers as they are soft metal with flex. once up in park the tension keeps the steer levers in place. my buggy is still in storage so can't get you a picture3396 weather sucks in Massachusetts lately. they do work I have used them for 20 years. hope you understand my ramblings. if not I will have my buggy out soon and take photo.
