Title: Hand Brake Modifications
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on November 05, 2005, 20:45:24

I found this modification on another forum & it's ideal for the shorter stature amongst us.
It would definately make a differance in stop-start traffic as well

Got that setup in my hybrid mate! (90 body work)

Never use it mind you as its auto but the thought was there!  Gets used when I park, thats about it.  Works a treat  :wink:

If you can't reach the handbrake how do yeu get in the truck to begin with.  Maybe a combi pack of the handbrake and stepladders could be a big seller :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Admittedly I'm not eye-to-eye terms with Jack Russells, but I don't have to duck under bridges (ike some people :wink: )

I didn't have problems in my 90 or 110, but in city driving it's a lot easier to get to
I try to alway use hand-brake, especially when wet, due to brake-light glare.

i rarely use the handbrake unless parking

mainly because our 110 never seems to roll unless its a steep hill....something tells me the brakes may need adjusting  :shock:
