Parking Brake/Roll Cage Combo (968 & Probably 944)

[ChaosRogue]

So, I'm digging around in the new 968 this past weekend to further determine what I need to do with it. I realized that the cage is right down where the parking brake handle would normally go on a 944/968. At the moment, I'm looking for ideas on how to make this setup work and keep it road legal.

What have some of you guys done with your caged 944s to put in a parking brake and make it function? I did find this link and article:



The key paragraph is this one:

There’s one rally-specific performance upgrade that also makes Charlie’s 944 street-legal in his state: a hand brake. “Everybody knows that a 944, when they come from the factory, the parking brake is on the left-hand side down by the door sill,” he says. “Well, when you put a cage into these cars, and you put in your sub-bar, you have to take out the e-brake. In Pennsylvania, we have to have a working, functioning hand-brake for inspection,” so he installed a hydraulic hand brake and mounted the lever to the right of the steering wheel and shifter.

That sounds like a perfect solution, but I have no idea how to go about doing it. Any ideas on how to do this fix, or anything else you've tried that worked?

Thanks!

The door bars should be as close to the door panel as possible (take off the door pocket), then you have no issue

Thanks. I'll see if I can pull that off.

Yes the door pocket will pull off, but its better to undo the screws first!
