Going for the shiny crome look inside the S3 so last year I purchased a Leven handbrake handle. However, it comes in a matt finish and I need to complete every thing in gloss. So I recently brought a Richbrook handle advertised for TVR's on ebay. Just concerned that it is some what larger than the Leven one- width ways. (ie The grub screws don't reach the original TVR handle). Has anyone fixed a Richbrook handle to an 'S'? Just wondering if there are different sizes and I may have one that is too big. Any tips would be most welcome. Thanks

Most aftermarket handles are made to multi fit. You should find when tightened, it will be fine.

If you want to sell me the matt handle, e mail me.

I fitted the richbrook handle to my V8S just fine (taped the foam wrapping it came with to the hand brake before sleeving the ally handle then attaching the grubs) Solid perfect fit!

But, I wouldnt buy another richbrook product until they sort their finish out. I wear no rings on my left hand, and the richbrook gear knob was scratched to death, after 4 months of use. The hand brake less so (less use) but whatever their finish those products were made with, it wont last a week. Cheap nasty, go for leven instead edited to say... if you can sell the unused handle on ebay and get your money back?
