after days of driving without a handbrake, a local scrap yard, 2 hours of my time and an angle grinder........ i finally managed to fit my aftermarket handbrake sleeve!
the polo hanbrake button DOES NOT SCREW OFF! so dont attempt to screw it or you will snap the rod inside the handbrake (like i did). to overcome this problem, i got a rod from a mk2 golf handbrake as it is threaded, therfore you can screw a button onto it. i used the angle grinder to trim my handbrake lever so that my sleeve would fit........
im very impressed with the final piece, but how do i post photos?
lol
thanks
