Alternative Hand Brake for Lokar Rear Disc Cables?

you may want to be in a hurry or i will be the guinea pig

No hurry here. Just been on the things to do list that I haven't got around to yet. If you go this route, let us know. Definitely interested how it turns out!

In the Bronc-up I used a Fiero hand lever with Lokar cables. I did need to add a bell-crank force multiplier. The Fiero part is nice because the handle itself drops back down out of the way when the brake is applied. In a Fiero this is necessary because the handle is on the driver's left side, it drops down so that you're not climbing over it to get in and out of the car. Some Volvo's also have this feature. I think it's the P1800's that are like this. No idea about any other Volvo models.

I don't know if their handle is long enough or not for leverage, but this company has been a go-to in the industry for years. Their handle assemblies appear to be a good bit cheaper than the Speedway option too.
