I figure I have to create a cable any way so I may as well make some thing unique.

Hit the junkyard look at the imports most of them have a small one with a short pull.Or spend the money for a pricey lokar or aftermarket one its up to you.

I grabbed one ouf of 7 series BMW for my Chevelle... haven't installed it yet it should work well... Just make sure you get the cables... and bring metric tools....

lol I don't think the lokar is in my future! I'm thinking about one from a volkswagon passat,I know its an import but the finish on the thing is incredible.

Re: Floor mount e-brake
Here's a trick: some of the older imports used what's called a 'fly-off' brake lever. When the lever is pulled on, you have to push a button with your thumb to 'set' the brake. To release, just pull up a little and let go. It works backwards to US floor brakes. Just an idea for something different.
