I'm not sure about a new handbrake lever but I use his easy fit handbrake assist and it great

Before I hardly bothered with stretching down under the dashboard to use the oe handbrake on hill etc but now its like proper driving, the handbrake sit there ant hands reach

I've had it about 2 years but take it off when its MOT time as its too tiresome to explain how it works to the MOT tester lol
