I have been looking though my build CD and there are some photos of the older handbrake.
From what I can see there are 3 types.
The Brembo one, which is about 2kg per side
A smaller alloy unit
A larger alloy unit.
Did Ultima make these?
Does anyone know if you are still able to get hold of them.
I like the look of the smaller alloy unit.

Will the hand brake lenghts be the same?

The latest Brembo handbrake callipers are generally regarded to be the best type available and are used on a wide variety of super cars. The handbrake lever itself is a mini one I believe. There should be no problems but you will have to buy the calliper kit from Ultima which includes the correct bracketry ect.

The Brembo version works fine but I belive some of the earlier versions (however light weight) did not quite do what it said on the tin.
