My handbrake handle is tatty but how is it removed please?

I have slid off the steel retainer at the button end but nothing else moves :cursing:

Do I need to get a complete assembly?

What bits come apart?

There is one near me on a scrapper, the depress button as a slight gash in it so will not do, but the handle you grip is fine on it, so I am hoping to make a good one from the two :confused1:

Ahhh i couldnt get mine apart to the same ting as you so i had to get the complete assembly, tell me how you go dude bit of insight if it ever arrises again :D

The handbrake black handle is bonded on I'm afraid.Slice it top to bottom with a stanley knife to remove .If you want to retain stock look you will have to change full assembly.Or remove as above and fit an "Isotta" chrome one. Or alternative make.

as long as it's shiny eh? :) :) :) i tried once, got stumped my self, that has just answered why!

I did this ages ago

Since I posted this thread I did some research, I was going to buy a MOMO Pitstop but thought they was a little expensive and come without a depress knob :crying:

I could not be bothered with all that so I bought this from HK.

I fit it in less than 5 mins.

Sliced the stock handle with a knife and peeled it all off - like a banana :sneaky2:

Slid on the new handle so it was just resting on the stock depress knob and tightened up 3 provided grub screws at the bottom.

Attached some of the provided double sided foam tape to around the base and then wrapped/stuck the gaiter to it - simple as you like :tt2:

It is a perfect fit and I am very pleased, it does not rattle at all on the original shaft and feels top notch.

Pictures not so great but you get the idea :wink:

Much better than a tired original handbrake and for under £18.00 :dance:
