I'm intested. I'm just trying to lay it ou in my head how it will all work in the car. With that bracket are you not having the bottom of the brake mechanism going through the floor? That would definitely clean up the install

For mounting it in front of the seat how do you run the cables through the floor etc and get the mechanism to pull right etc

I'm sure you guys have some pretty trick ways to all of this. I'd love to learn a cool way to do this other than the standard " cut a holed on the tunnel and drop it through" way

I'd like to mount it between the tunnel and driver seat, down low with the same goal as you Rodger..... Out of sight but there when you need it. I'm just trying to figure out to get it all to work if I mount it there

I was going to run the cables under the carpet and put them through the floor so they can go out to the axle for the parking brake mechanism.

Default I have a lokar hand brake in mine

not my favorite. Throw is very short with not much leverage, but it is still in my car.

I originally mounted mine in the center of the tunnel and ran the cables to the back...but it hit my drive shaft. Covered the hole and mounted it up top, ran the cables on top of the tunnel inside the car and exited the car under the rear seat. The custom console covers it.
