RV8 handbrake modification
Hugh Boddington found the position of the handbrake grip in the off position on his RV8 was too high and uncomfortably close to the bottom edge of the steering wheel. So he began thinking of how it might be modified so that it was lower. Hugh decided the only way to lower the grip was to re-profile the handbrake lever. (Oct 08)


Using a sheet of stiff white card, Hugh marked out the position of the handbrake lever on his car before and after the re-profiling modification. The result is the head of the lever has been lowered by 5 inches.
