Ok Folks - Long shot I know, but anyone have a Zertec alu handrake they may no longer need or want.
Long since out of production but someone may just have one lying lonely and neglected in a cupboard somewhere.

Shape is terrible rolleyes and I'd be happy to help out by taking off your hands with a good Paypal donation biggrin

Thanks

I did coment but it was hardly helpful saying I had one fitted ! So deleted it. Do try as it's almost weird, if you were to grab playdo (sp) and then mould it.
lol..No probs David, thanks for clearing that up.

I have one of those fitted and while the shape is odd it is one of the most comfortable handbrake grips I've ever used and it does assist in the application of the handbrake.

I have a box of Zertec alloy bits and bobs and may have a spare one of those. I'll check later smile
That'd be great - thank you.

A huge thank you indeed to you Mark (sumoone) for this!
A true scholar and a gentleman. Very pleased biggrin





Just a small mod to the original design to ensure the lower part of the handle does not foul the leather when the handbrake in the off position. Also some slight bespoke reshaping for a slightly more organic shape (top portion was just a little too 'square' and V like around the button) - some smoothing and rounding and think its spot on now.
