Last one - Handbrake conversion for Lexus

Post by Castos »

What are the different options to run a handbrake after a Lexus conversion has been done? I need to sort something out, and I'm not sure what to do.

There is no space for the standard handbrake in the engine compartment...

So far I've got 2 option.
1. Run the handbrake like a car's handbrake in the floor.
2. Try and run the normal Hilux setup but run the cable and fittings on the inside of the cab.

You are on the right track both ways .I use a lever from a 1400 bakkie it works well.
