Ebrake reach

[fostia]

My brakes still leave somewhat to be desired and therefore I like the thought of being able to reach my e-brake handle. When strapped in with the harness, I can't reach the handle very well at all. Anyone else do anything about that? Thinking about an electronic brake but those are expensive.

As a bonus, anyone put the 5th belt on the harness through the seat?

Thanks!

I use the parking brake all the time in all my cars.. so I knew I wanted it to be easy to access in mine.
hence... I did this.

Reading the other thread about modifying seats for crotch belt made me ask FFR today if the leather seat I'm getting had a hole for it.. the answer was:

"The belts that come with the kit are a five point harness, the seat does not have a pass through for the crotch belt, we suggest installing them as a four point harness"

I bought some of these to punch through the seats. https://blackrhinoperformance.com/shop/seats-belts/black-rhino-harness-inserts/
Basically do this mod: http://www.gtsparkplugs.com/cobra-seat-anti-sub-belts.html

There is some logistics based on where the tensioner and frame are underneath compared to that example but seem to be things that can be accommodated. I just haven't taken the plunge yet. If I screw up the seats are like $500. Figured I'd come back later when my wallet is braver and I've had a confidence beer or two.
