Hey Brett,
Anymore progress on your build. I was curious as what you used for a center console. the center tunnel is very narrow and I don't want to give up any space for the seats. I was looking at an S2000 Honda center console. The ebrake handle is off to the side. My thinking was to modify the VW handle with an offset to match into the slot in the console. It also has a separate glove box that fits between the seats. Your thoughts.
Just waiting on parts to finish the HVAC system. Should have it ready to charge up by maybe this weekend if everything goes as it should.
I did a search to what is involved. Is this what the lever looks like?
If it is you may have issues with the VW cables aligning up to the lever since the cable tubes are positioned for a center connection and not offset to one side.
Even if you were able to transition the cables to one side you then have to deal with getting around all the lines that are inside of the tunnel.
If you really want to offset the ebrake lever. The Mitsubishi Eclipse is offset but the connection point is at the center.
At one time I had this installed in my car but as with alot of ideas that I tried things changed and I ended up going with a foot operated ebrake.
I've tried several different ideas for consoles also. If you search by build for consoles they should popup.
There is one console/armrest that I found that bolts to the center hump with no major fabrication. Look for it in the interior threads
Got the granddaughter right now so I got to go. Let me know if you need anything else
