Hydraulic Handbrake Question....

[kevy-s13]

Right, people might think im being silly about this but....

ive a k-sport hydraulic handbrake which can be set to be either vertical or horizontal. It is this style....



Thing is, i find the actual lever a bit small and not tall or vertical enough for me, so was really wanting something like this instead as these ones just seem to be sturdier etc.....



Does anyone know if i can just change the lever on my own system or do i have to buy an entire new hydro kit?

P.S. or would anyone be interested in swapping with me?

chop, add and weld....

Chop,weld on a longer piece off box metal or round bar or whatever you want really..lick off paint,maybe a handgrips for the top to tidy it,.sorted,.any welding place would be able to do it,steel supplied and welded I'd say you'd be talking no more then 50 euro!

yano those tourque wrenches , there like a socket ratchet only without the ratchet motion the handle of 1 of them would be handy
