Tim Reid Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Does anyone know where I can buy a new Sierra handbrake switch? Preferably online. eBay searching and usual kit car places is drawing blanks for me. I've found them in Germany but don't want to pay more for postage than the part... https://www.motomobil.com/switch-hand-brake-warning-lamp,8063,15095750-3.html I've found one that looks similar from a Landrover defender.

Thrustyjust Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Fit a Honda S2000 handbrake Tim. Half the size, nose dips down and a quality ratchet. May just need to tweek its mounting points . Quote
Tim Reid Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 Tempting but I've already got a huge list of "just need to tweak..." If I was only doing an engine and gearbox change I'd be nearly finished. Quote

BugMan Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Back TJ on this S2000 is in a different league to the std WF (now ford KA) crap, just need a bit of fine tuning and a bracket to fit it 1 Quote

Tim Reid Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 I had a text with Thrusty... S2000 handbrake is on the way! Quote

What could possibly go wrong ? You never mentioned chassis work to fit it Quote
BugMan Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Have a look at what I did, but by no means would I say my solution was the best here I actually went back and re-did the mounting to push the S2000 handbrake forward a bit Others have found better ways I'm sure 1 Quote

And this is to suit the KA handbrake? I've an older sierra handbrake which has mounts at different levels as per the following picture. This is good because the s2000 handbrake kits easily but very bad because it cannot be connected to the handbrake cable below the tunnel top! An idea I have is to either fit the rear of the s2000 handbrake under the chassis mount or replace the chassis mount. Quote
Andy (Sycho) Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Yes the handbrake mounts are level for a ka handbrake. looks like you will have to alter the chassis mount. Quote
