Wanted - Zertec Handbrake

[Storm Guy]

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 and I'd be happy to help out by taking off your hands with a good Paypal donation

Thanks

[Storm Guy]

That's wierd, thought I saw a comment from you David (Beer) this morning Thanks anyway, yes tis a nice design.

[David Beer]

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.

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

That'd be great - thank you.

I went to Clive's house to fit a cooling kit. Came away with headlight pods, hand brake ,indicator and wiper stalks. One of the nicest guys. Wish I had gone for exhaust manifolds and four tail pipes. my griff hasn't moved in 6 years though.

Sorry to put my cerbera head in here but if there are any more of these available please do let me know.

Many thanks

Hi there, after a search I find that I do have a few of these available from stock. Anyone who is interested can email on [e-mail] or call on 01434 610666. Many thanks, Tony

[Incognegro]

Thanks Tony for the great handle! Managed to get away with using current Leven button for now as I'd need to buy a better fitting spring for use with the new button.

Love the touch to my cerbera interior now it's just waiting to be off to see Dave the Trimmer.

[Storm Guy]

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





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.

[Clive Reed]

Indeed, I need to get back here more often,

I always loved the Zertec kit, wish I'd been able to get it when it was still available!

Well I made a couple of calls yesterday in respect to reactivating Zertec.

[seaside]

Let us know if you get it off the ground Clive. I for one am still looking for a pair of your indicator stalks!
