i had mine mounted up beside the gear stick but wasnt great to pull it quick, i hav it bolted wher the original handbrake was its quick to pull and its right beside u i just bolted the cable one a bit back, best thing to do is sit in the car and place it wher its comfortable and easy accesible, ill take a pic of mine later and see wat u tink :D

i find it best mounting it in between the gearstick and seat had it like that on the r32 and was mounted the same on the 14 when i got it
i find it best cause its in between were your left hand is most the steering wheel and gearstick
dont mind the mess,im doing a bit of wiring at the min

Yea i see loads bolted very close to the dash,but there isn't much room on the tunnel to be bolting it next the gearstick,pics would be great lad,also anyone else with input,feel free to input:D:D:D

[Midnight]

Cheers Davie,yea thats what i was thinking,as i said does'nt seam to be much room for it but i suppose i could weld a wee bracket onto the tunnel for it to sit on,suppose i won't know till i get 1 ad just sit it into place.
What handbrake you useing Davie??

it depends on the car,on the r32 i had enough room to bolt it to the tunnel without obstructing the gear change but on the s14 there isnt much room so there is a metal bracket welded in place to mount the hydro stick

well i had the new driftworks handbrake in the r32 and have what seems to be the older driftworks model in the s14,both have willwood cyclinders
good job:D

[Midnight]

Yea little bracket is what i had in mind,thanks for the advice lad.
Just going to have to fork out and buy 1 now.

Did you ever plumb in your own,is there much work in it,you hear some horror stories about not being able to get pressure into it and stuff
