so i found myself a nice, neat, shorter handbrake lever for the indy, in a prefinished state(see pic) as i didn't want a gurt lump of ally in the middle of the car.

however, what do you wise folks think of the release button? will it cause problems with radius etc?

it's easy enough to swap back to the sierra one, but that'd mean making 2 gaitors, and pratting about with the cable again.

sorry

File the appropriate radius onto it and polish it back up ?

I slipped the sleeve of the handbrake handle forward on the sierra one,it was the testers suggestion as it would have failed.
Looks like your radius is worst so yes looks the the file is coming out.

bugger! might have to put the sierra one back on then, as i didn't want to have to file it as i don't know if it's solid

i don't want to kill it as p6s are pretty rare these days. rang rover for a gaitor and was told all the p6 spares were obsolete

you live and learn eh

I would be tempted to glue a half sphere on the end.

i was thinking along those lines myself.

i'll have a fiddle and see what turns up. it usually turns out for the best.

cheers for the advice
