So close!!

Blast and set fire to it! A term used up North when something is particularly on annoying.

Purchased the handbrake handle in the photo
Thinking it would fit, and it's a nano measurement too small!
Gonna drill down the centre I think.

Fettling with a TVR? Never!

Don't mention fire WRT a TVR, it's too painful for many.

Ha ha... Yeah it's crazy notion but I thought it would just fit first time, I have learnt nothing!!

The gear knob and hand brake cover both needed fettling to make fit..Even though they were custom made...Its all part of the fun...

Looks nice that Zig, I was pondering wood, I think we discussed the other week.
But just fancied a bit if Alloy

Gonna drill down the centre, it's very close.

Zig-you need a stereo mate!! Do you not have one?!

[mrzigazaga]

Hi Mate...You might be better off with a round file if its only smidgins, If you drill it you are going to need to hold it in a vice and that will cause damage to the outer surface....Ziga

[TVRIK]

Yeah might try that first.. Will prob wrap in a rag when I put it in the vice.

What about sanding down the handbrake lever. If only a fraction out, wrap coarse wet and dry round it and keep rubbing it down till it fits. Don't over do it though or you'll have no handbrake left. Alternatively, make an adaptor for it. Something the handle will fit on to, and then push the whole thing onto the handbrake lever. The handbrake lever may now be a little longer but hey, it'll be like a power handbrake with the extra leverage. Where there is a will there is a way. If you need any more ideas, just ask me, I have plenty. Finally, good luck.

Cheers Tony

I was thinkin about sanding the handbrake actually,
Yeah may get some coarse wet n dry and try that first, easier that's for sure.

Cheers mate...The boot lid is a bit scabby as it looks like someone has either spilt something on it or its badly filled with bond!..I will sort that out...I did get a bargain, She is good for her age and still pulls like a train...I like the colour more than i did but for some reason i have been getting loads of grief from other drivers..Sometimes 3 or 4 incidences a day..I never got it with Delilah...Don't know if it because she looks more modern or the fact that she's a V8...Maybe i need to make her louder.....

Ha... Well I suppose the colour is kind of "metallic road" so it blends in, unlike Delilah!
Just keep the revs to about 4 and a half thousand revs!
They will soon get out the way! When I boot mine, people genuinely look scared...... It's great! Ha..
