    E-Brake Handles?

    So... did everyone use a fox body e-brake handle? Anything creative done instead? Anyone use something else that worked well?

    Thanks in advance! Pics appreciated!

    I'm using the FF supplied e-brake handle assembly which is their own design and fabrication. It's what they've been supplying for a while now versus Mustang e-brake handles. Every Gen 3 Coupe build thread I've seen had it too. I've seen some negative comments about it. Hasn't been my experience. I have one in Roadster #8674 and it seems to work fine. Use it a lot.

    I see you have a base kit Coupe so obviously they don't provide the handle assembly? You could get the FF one. But a Lokar would be a good choice as well. With the top mount location in the Coupe I'm not sure a Mustang side-mount handle would be the best choice. Lots of guys have moved the e-brake handle to the top of the tunnel on the Roadster, and often they're using the Lokar handle.

    This is the FF handle in my Coupe build.

    I'm under the impression they don't supply it. Maybe I'm wrong...?

    So I'll reach out and see what it would cost me to use the above Roadster handle. As delivery approaches I'm going through details to make sure I have everything. The devil is in the details as always...

    ***UPDATE***

    The kit INCLUDES an e-brake handle. Glove box is not even an option on the Coupe.

    Thanks for the input.
