Hello all,

My factory handbrake looks like this:

Oscar: I am sure you checked to see if there are any U-tube videos posted. A good technician familiar with European vehicles should be able to install the handle for you. Penske should also be able to do this.
Also, I hope that you will consider entering your Brabus in the So Cal Smarties Micro cars show at the ADM, even if you have not installed all your mods. Your car is very impressive. Information is on the So Cal Smarties meet-up website.

the only source I have found so far was telling me to cut through my existing one and tear apart the leather handle portion and bolt this new one on.. Which sounds super scary to me, so was hoping if I could gather some better intel here.
