205wrc 16 Posted January 21, 2007 Anyone got any ideas as to how you make these out of the current 205 setup. I've got a spare so don't mind butchering it. Take the ratchet out of the handbrake, turn it upside down and refit. Remember not to press the button if doing handbrake turns or you will lock the lever in the up position - if you do, just lift it further to release Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted January 21, 2007 It isn't that simple though is it? I tried to make one ages ago and had alot of trouble with something, can't remember what though!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted January 21, 2007 Yep it's not that simple. I have one in front of me and I can't do it. Pictures etc would be of great help.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cybernck 402 1 Cars Posted January 22, 2007 here's an extremely cheap and a very handy solution i've used for autotests and stuff: - press and hold the button - drill with a small drill bit through the handle and the button - insert a rivet/pin/something through the hole ...and you've got yourself a fly-off handbrake with an added benefit of no accidental locking . when you need to lock it again, just take the rivet out . hope this helps.

joni 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Or you can just push the button in and tape a penny over the end if its just for one off events. Works perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M_R_205 5 1 Cars Posted January 24, 2007 Anyone got any ideas as to how you make these out of the current 205 setup. I've got a spare so don't mind butchering it. what i did is file all the teeth off the ratchet system and drilled a hole for when the hand brake is in the on position and stick a pin in when parked, took 10 mins just make sure you have a nice smooth finnish, of you could just pull the ratchet out and drill a hole? if ya want il take a pic of it tonight as i took it out for the m.o.t Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iety2004 0 Posted February 10, 2007 I like the drilled handbrake button when i've built cars its cleaner, simplier and you cant really tell u've drilled a hole, so no butchering required Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
