Handbrake lever grip

[Scackleton]

Hi I am looking for an aluminium handbrake lever grip for my Chim. I have tried Leven Technology via Prestige Performance Cars but they tell me they are out of stock and it has now been discontinued. I wondered if anyone had any ideas?

I have seen them on Facebook

I don't think the TVR grip is bespoke. Perhaps Vauxhall or Ford?

I'd have thought an aftermarket won would fit.

This ^^^

Get onto the Chimaera enthusiasts page on Facebook, there is somebody on there who makes a set of Aluminium column/indicator stalks, handbrake lever, & steering column adjust lever. They make them in batches and regularly pop up on there.

The going rate when I got mine towards the end of last year was £65 for the complete set of items including p&p. Very happy!

I've only got around to fitting the column stalks so far though

Hi, a bit late to the party! I don't suppose you can point me in the direction of where I can purchase one of these from?

The Chimaera has a handbrake?

Was some talk there would be another production run, alongside other bits that were made years ago ..... not heard anything since.

I'm even later to the Party

But if anyone can point me in the direction of one of these I would be very grateful

Cant believe they are not being remade they are a thing of beauty

Thanks in advance

A lady by the name of Anne Billyard sells a version of these. You can contact her on [e-mail].

The handbrake cover & button that she sells are £36 posted to the UK.

Please note that Anne's version is not the spangly one above, but a plainer version.

Wondered what that hole in the tunnel was for🤪

I used a Tuscan Ali handle and got my brother to ream it out on a lathe as the hole dia is slightly too small.
At the time Tuscan handles were plentiful and cheap
