Hi chaps I am in middle Italy with my '91 964 targa
First long distance drive, i.e ieo three hours in car; it drives beautifully fast stable and did about 140 leptons on autobahn
Only slight worry I have is that the handbreaklever and plastic area around it heats up so it is almost too uncomfortable to touch?
No smoke nothing to see under car (flat underground)
To my understanding gearbox is further back in the car or could it be centre diff as it is a C4?
Any help appreciated main thought is it it to drive home or do I need t find somebody in italy?
As said it drives fine
Cheers

I wonder if the handbrake shoes are sticking on a little?

Does the car roll easy with the handbrake off?

But if the handbrake would stick shouldn't wheels get hot?
And the light stay on???
Also not sure how heat would be transduced into lever/shelving around it???
Does anybody know where the heat exchangers in the 964 are located?
