this handbrake is the most affordable and really cool looking from mini-mania, but is there anyway to get it w/ lapis blue leather??

HANDBRAKE HANDLE - CHROMED SOLID BRASS W/ LEATHER

anyone have any info on this?? or any info on any affordable hand brakes w/ lapis blue?

 

anyone?

 

I got this one, but I have two gripes about it. When installed, there's nothing to hold it, so you either have to glue it down to the handle, or just let it sit held up by the leather boot. Another, a big one:

The chrome is peeling off!!! Just noticed it today.

Sorry dude, try factory.

 

I'm waiting for the Whalen Brake Handle.........

Chrome falling off!!!???
Sheesh!

Sorry I've waited so long; shouldn't be difficult to improve on that!

I'll get started right away!

 

Best to check out our brake handles - our chrome does not fall off as well and are made in the USA and not in another country where QC is limited.

thanks for the info, but i really wanted one w/ lapis blue leather

 

 

hand ... job .. brake ... sorry

 

<< These things look like they require batteries.

LOL, I was just thinking that.

 

Sorry I don't know about any other lapis blue brake handles, but I can report about my experience with the black leather handle pictured in the first post of this thread. I ordered one and had to wait quite a while because it was on backorder. When it arrived I noticed the leather was not perforated as in the picture, and the chrome plating was of poor quality. I came close to sending it back but I decided the smooth black leather actually looked good with the smooth black leather brake boot I had purchased, and the worst part of the poor chrome would not show once it was installed. The handle did not fit securely once installed, so I removed it, wrapped a layer of electrical tape around the "inside" of the handbrake lever, then reinstalled the handle, which worked very well. So all & all, it ended up well...but the handle is not as pictured.

 

Hey hey! I happen to have it in my S! It looks fine and works great. It may look a little phalic, but it lends personality to my car! 'sides, what e-brake doesn't look a little phalic! there's nothing wrong with it. And further more, it uses C size batteries and not D

 

how in the heck do you get the stock one off. I just got mine, and i cant get the stock one off.. call me stupid :smile:

 

There is a cap at the end of the stock handle. Take that off, and then there should be a little extension locking it in place...pry that up and slide off...I think that is how you do it.
