    Finally got it up and running, It has been a dream to get some parts of mine out on the market and at last I´m there.
    My ´32 project has been put aside lately to give time for the shifter Rod and hand-brake to be done as I wanted it to be shown at the LA Roadster Show.
    The USA dealer for this is Limeworks Speedshop and they will have the parts at there stand there.
    If you will be at the show, make sure you check it out ;)

    In the UK, Hamber Steve "Langy" Lang will sell it at his shop Langys Rod Shop.

    Hope you like it / Martin

    Thanks Guys :)

    At this moment the shifter works on the T-5 manual transmission, the stock shifter needs to be cut off about 2" above the bottom and my shifter is drilled to fit it.

    I also have them for the Gennie automatic shifter mechanism witch has a smaller rod diameter.

    Im working on getting a solotion to get it on the Lokar. As you know they have a realese ****on that needs to changed.

    The older T-56 manual trans and simular works to, they have two bolts that is on the side that holds the stock rod. For these applications, I have shifters that isn't drilled underneat.

    The E-Brake has slotted mounting holes who gives a pattern between 3" - 4".

    The emergency brake is really a piece of art. It is probalby way out of my budget, but it sure gave me some inspiration and made me think.....;)

    Thanks Guys,it makes me really happy with your positive response :)




    The E brakes retail price is 310usd and the shifter is 210. Without a doubt thats a lot of money. If I could make those parts in 15 min they would be a lot cheeper but its a lot of time and effort put into each part. Production costs runs
    high with hardware,material,polishing and machining.


    The I-beams are sand-casted in a very good quality aluminum. No, you wont brake it.

    Yes, you can use lokar cables, they comes with a clevis that hooks right up on the E Brake handle.

    I dont think that price is unreasonable at all, Theres a hell of a lot of work in making that E brake, if I were to make that from scratch it would be 10x that amount.
    Im that impressed with it I may add one to the list of wants for my car when I get to that point.

    Martin has done a great job with the ebrake handle, we collaborated on the final details with regards fit & some hardware we are supplying, as he said not cheap but nothing any good ever is cheap :) We will have some at LARS if the shipper does it's job .
