Handbrake Extender

Hi folks,

I am having a bit if trouble with my back (old age) and I have trouble with the handbrake or should I say clutch control whilst holding the vehicle on a hill.

I have seen this, looks strange and did a search on here with nothing much found.

If you put the word "handbrake" in the forum search, the second one that comes back (after yours) is this one:

I should add that I have no personal experience of the product, and it seems to me exceedingly expensive for what you get...

Mike,

I can't see why the bit of kit wouldn't work.

It does seem a bit expensive for what you get; but "pain in the wallet" is insignificant when compared to "pain in the back". Just remember "You can't take it with you." and then the price will seem a lot more reasonable!

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Ian (who also knows pain when he sees it!!)

I put a post about the rare spares handbrake extender under the technical chat section by mistake,!!! Really hope it helps you decide..bri.

I have a Kobra Extender fitted to my 2008 Symbol, as a short a***, without it I struggle bigtime to use the handbrake. Its easy to fit and does the job. Think it cost about £50. It made a heck of a difference, to what is a manufacturers design fault.

Looks like the jobbie. And 'only' £52!

I have the same problem so I may give it a try.

We too bought ours from outdoorbits in 2006 and it's never let us down, it really an excellent bit
of of kit especially on those Alpine hill starts.

Thanks people.

looks like the Kobrand is the way to go so just ordered one.

Thanks for your swift replies.
