How do all
Quick question for ya'll
Do you have any problems reaching and operating the handbrake ?
Ive had an idea ( oh Oh ! ) and the answers to this question will help me decide if its something I should pursue.
Im six foot and have my seat right back, sometimes its a bit of a reach for me. Especially when wearing a thick coat.

I test drove a 1981 4/4 at Perranwell Garage which they had modified with an electric servo, connected to 2 buttons on the dash - press the red one, handbrake on, press the green one, handbrake off. All completely removeable if required, and the handbrake could still be operated by the usual method if needs be. Ingenious and worked well.

I have just fitted a Simmonds extender (the long version). It works perfectly and was extremely simple to install.

Do you have any problems reaching and operating the handbrake ?
This is probably me being a numpty, but I haven't yet figured-out how to use the Mog fly-off handbrake to hold the car on a hill ????
