Hi MT,
Have you considered using the vitesse handbrake mounted to the right of the seat where it might be able to bolt through to the chassis side rail. Old hillman hunters were like this but I think the handbrake could get in the way getting in and out but you wouldn't have this problem, not having any doors! The cable could head rearwards then arc through 90 degrees to point towards the nearside wheel. The inner cable would fix to the nearside lever and the outer would end at the end of the arc. A bracket fixed to the outer at this point and joined to the offside lever by a straight rod would apply the same force to the offside lever that the inner would to the nearside one. Just an idea for you to consider if you want. Good to see your progress as it gives great encouragement, I am bogged down in modern engine electronics and wiring at the moment.
