Just had a couple of hours to spare today before getting ready for work this afternoon so I thought I'd make a start on the handbrake.

Original plan was to have it to the left of the steering wheel next to the gear lever with the cable running down into the side of the gearbox cover before doubling back along the side of the spine. After a cup of tea and dangling the handbrake from various locations off the frame with orange string I ended up mounting it on the right hand side of the steering wheel -







It falls nicely to hand there and doesn't get in the way, there's just the small matter of rigging up some means of it actually operating the rear brakes.

I have a few ideas as to how to do this but it's going to need a bit of imagination and plenty of trial and error.

Anyway, I'm working Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights so I don't think there'll be much progress until at least Tuesday now.
