Has anyone relocated their emergency brake handle location and shortened it

Any part #'s would be greatly appreciated

First build - addressing known projects

Thanks,

Lot's of posts on this topic. Since you are new to the forum, don't search using the forum search tool (it sucks). Use Google search in this format (copy/paste exactly) - whatever is after the "/" will be the search parameter (*ignore the hyperlink....the forum keeps adding it automatically....just copy/paste as plain text into Google search bar):

Here are a few I had referenced in my OneNote....I'm planning to relocate mine too (necessary for a T56):

This post (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?45268-Move-the-E-brake-lever) shows lots of good options

Another option is to get rid of the handle completely and use something like E-Stopp (push-button e-brake). Here's one option (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zulwRWvZSd8&ab_channel=520Speedworks) for how/where to install it. Here's a post (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?42121-JeffP-s-MK4-Roadster-Coyote-TKX-Build-NC-Title-and-Registration-cruisin-in-Gelcoat&p=489459&viewfull=1#post489459) showing a different mounting option. Here's a third option (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?44518-E-STOPP-long-tube-headers-and-high-back-seats-with-hardtop&p=508664&viewfull=1#post508664) (there are others out there).
