Alloy Handbrake Conversion
Although the last Esprit update was lacking in any real content. Most of it's updates are easily copied and most are covered on Lotus Esprit World. This guide show you how to make your handbrake look like the latest Esprit. Changing the black rubber cover for a shiny alloy one. Making your interior a brighter place to be (well I'm sure that was the intension!).
This mod involves cutting the original cover, which will be unuseable afterwards.
|
You will need the following parts: Alloy Handbrake Sleeve (£54.29) |
You will need the following tools: Sharpe
Knife |
Part supplied by:
Using a sharpe knife (stanley or scaple), cut along the length of the handbrake sleeve as per A, remove sleeve (shown in pic 2).
Once sleeve removed slide on new Aluminum sleeve and tighten grub screw. Should only take you around 10 minutes.
LEW's Verdict
Only for cosmetic purposes, the change isn’t big but it's easy to do and could make a big difference to your interior. It mostly down to personal preference. My only advice is to get a genuine Lotus part (although expensive and not particularly worth the cash), as I think aftermarket version could make it look a little tacky.
This mod was performed & supplied by Chris sabbatinell on his GT3.
