    Anyone ever install the e brake pedal to an earlier Mav? Doesnt look that hard to me, but thought I would ask.

    I always thought that if I was going to change mine, I would go with a hand brake on the trans tunnel, especially if the car was converted to a stick. It is super-handy if you have to launch the car on an incline ... put the stick in first, feather the clutch, release the hand brake with your right hand.

    Agreed. Definitely planning on switching to a handbrake eventually.
