emergency brake

[evilbean42]

Heres a random question. I can't remember if the E-brake is a hand lever or a pedal, and i can't see it in any interior pictures. Can anyone refresh my memory?

Yes. But it always feels like I'm dropping the flaps on our old Stinson.

As a foot note to the E-brake question, I was talking to a friend of mine that works in the Emergency room downtown. He mentioned that over the years he had seen a lot of people come in after minor traffic accidents with broken left legs. Most of them were driving P/U trucks and their leg struck the parking brake pedal. Airbags & seat belts won't keep you from cracking your leg on the pedal. Something I had never thought of before.

See A2jack I don't have that problem, there are no flaps in my Ercoupe.

You can even get an upgraded handle from Brabus.
