its got to be said... Cali handbrake for the win

[bullracing]

One of the best mods so far is the Grand California handbrake.
You lift it up then let go and it drops to the floor while still being engaged. Allows you to swivel the seat so much easier.

Yes yes, I know all you posh gits with dsg can just put it in Park but for those without this is a game changer

is this it, the part numbered 1 in the diagram?

are they sided LHD/RHD?

so it bolts on then we simply reuse the parts from our existing handbrake?

Looks neat, well found and thanks for sharing!

My part number above is for a RHD, I expect they are handed. That is the only part you need unless you dont have the bottom plastic, I had to add that but done that ages ago.

They are not handed, same part RHD / LHD

That's a great idea, I wonder if it would fit a transporter too

Ahhhh we’re in Crafter Corner! Well that’s no good for my purposes. How the F did I end up in here? Can someone show me how to get back to the main bit ‍

That should be standard. So helpful without swivelling seats.

If someone replaces their T6 handbrake with one of these maybe they would be helpful by posting fitting instructions or a video?

My monies on @Deaky ……

 

[Shaun Witts]

Although I’ve got a DSG, the Mrs hates that slight movement that is still there in Park. The handbrake eliminates that, but can’t be used when the drivers seat is rotated, so this would be a great solution for us - if it worked on the Transporter…
(I also read this with interest until @bobbybasic ‘s response to @Deaky !)

 

[bobbybasic]

+1 for @Deaky

You not found your way back to the Transporter section yet?

 

[Pauly]

Got one ordered for @Deaky so we will see if its compatible

 

[Sackmycook]

Watching with interest......

 

[Pedro20001]

[Deaky]

Feel like I’ve been set up here

 

[Pauly]
