Anyone know if that "kit" ever became available? I got around the issue with the heater control and hand throttle by just wrapping zip ties around them so I can pull them up, then I can reach down into the shifter to push them down, but still no handbrake.
Yes, CoolCava Racing did complete the kit and sold a few to owners in both Europe and US. But I closed the UK company two years back. CoolCava Racing is now predominately a racing team, and as a company does some race car and street car work here in Finland. I handed the handbrake extension over to Mark to continue if he felt it valuable.

Mark, do you want the designs from me?

Talk to Mark and see if he is interested in making them. If not then I can see if we can still get them made in the UK - I would think that Mark could get them done at a better price though...
