Been thinking about changing the handbrake - cos it's long and horrible!

Anyone come up with a shorter one, or a better option?

cheers

Think you might struggle there, I believe it's a classic Mini handbrake, there might be one or two to choose from, but most of us have bought handbrake handles and covers.
Found this, is this what you have in mind?

The same lever is used on a variety of make/models including Range Rover. These come with plastic or leather handles however I found that with any sort of grip you could not get your hand around it due to the seats being so close.
