I wanted the E brake handle to stick up some cuz I think it gives a little bit of the "old truck" look.

How about some more info on that parking brake lever install? Is that stand-off you fabricated necessary for mechanical reasons too or just to make the boot fit right, as you mentioned? Maybe a Lokar part number for it?
