Handbrake Extension Concept
Hi guys,

Ive been thinking about this for quite some time and think that it would work quite good for drifting and so on, hopefully it will be cheap too so no need for a hydraulic handbrake etc...
Also, Since its the bracket that holds the extension on, it can be taken off by undoing the bolts, so when that trackday comes you can put it on for the day and your off haha

Ive made up a Design and want to know your thoughts on it.
Good or Bad doesnt matter.
Also want to know what kind of materials i should use so on (especially the materials on the bracket)...

Let me know what you guys think!
Still a concept so measurements will be in due time.

Nah I dont want to make it Hydraulic, too much work and expensive...
I just thought it would be cheap and and good for drifting as the positioning could be altered and dont have to move your hand as far so quick response when needed.

If you have pics that would be cool.
