Handbrake lever
has anybody in this forum experimented by replacing the original handbrake lever by a RR or D2 lever beside the cubby box? Puma 110" SW

What would be the advantage of this?

All I can see it doing is making it harder to get to the transfer box lever Confused

Probably you get a bit of more leg room, especially on LHD landy. Now, if it is worth such extra space? not sure. I`m getting cramps during long drives and my seat rails are already mod. Puma 110" SW

Got ya. I use mine as a foot rest on long journeys.... guess it doesn't work so well with a LHD Rolling with laughter

Maybe a change in seat might be the answer? I know people who get cramps from LR seats because it doesn't support the upper leg enough so restricts blood flow (like if you sit on the edge of a table).

On average several times 2-3 days a week.
