Maybe this will be of interest to someone, I've kinda just been a spectator here, got a lot of great info on parts to buy/ how to install, and I have always wanted to change the ugly e-brake handle. I'd seen on here where someone modified a similar handle, but I didn't want to have to modify mine since I went with neo chrome. I went ahead and ordered a new e-brake assembly as well in case i ****** it up

but luckily it turned out pretty well i think, just have to get a new boot that will cover up the screws. Also went ahead and drilled out my nrg short hub as well, and will include pictures, just used about a 1 inch bit and it fit perfectly over the clockspring.

All I did was cut off a secotion of the bottom part of the ebrake frame, and filed down the top and sides.

Then once it was cut down so that the whole handle would fit, I filed down a small section of the bottom part of the frame, and also filed down the top a bit as well to give me extra room on the bottom so it would be a perfect fit for the end section of the handle, so you can use the provided set screws.

And here is the short hub, I just drilled into the back end of where the screw goes into and then used a dremel to clean it up. Looks ugly, but you cant tell it from the outside.

Still got a bit of work to do, getting a friend that does upholstery to make me a leather cover for the wheel, and still have to dye the white stitching red in some places, also having my shift knob neo chromed next week.
