I know about the only way to get an aftermarket e-brake handle on my cavalier is to cut the old one off but before I hack it off I want to make sure I will have one that will fit... so I was wondering if this would fit

my money says not without some modification of the handle, with a dremel or something....ive been wrong before, and ill be wrong again....but ya, if all ure doing is cutting off the handle and firing it on there, im thinking its not gonna work

our handles are curved so no matter what you have to MAKE an aftermarket handle fit it

I just recieved that same handle two days ago. you will need to make the push button round to fit the cap that comes with it fit and some minor grinding if you havent already done so. i will post pics tomorrow. and i would say order the ebrake boot with it. great fitment on the boot

Ok, thanks. A pic would be great.

heres a pic.



its a lil fuzzy so if you need another i will go get another one.

dude, your like type r is upside down

but its up right on the other side. lol. I didn't put them on they came that way

lol, hmm i might be buying me one of these. but if i do ima have to peel that sticky off and put it right side up

Or just peel it off and stop there

i was going to say the same thing....

So any chance black or CF oval part could be removed?
Then it would be all silver?

oh yeah its just a sticker. i pilled it off tonight. its flat under it.

Alright after a couple emails i finally got around to taken some pics.


So heres pics of what needed to be cut.




and for those of you who wanted to see it without stickers

Muuuch better w/o the sticker =D

how does it secure on there?

Has a couple pointy screws that screw into the brake handle assembly.

Ok, I got it ground down, but now my button is getting stuck when I push it in... Any suggestions?!?!?

Don't shove it all the way down.

Just enough to make contact with the old push bottom and tighten!!!!! Try this first if not.

Notice how I have the front where it bends cut out. You may need to cut a lil of the plastic piece that connects everything. but not too much.

i couldnt really get it on ALL the way so he might want to try what i did..if the button is catching the inner lip..i cut most of the old button off first then i took a small bolt and put it thru from the inside and put a plastic cap over the threads ( you could use a rubber cap too) you can see a pic of it in the other Ebrake thread..

Hey guys, finally got it on. I think it was getting stuck by the spring because I had it on too tight. Only thing I don't like about that handle is the button was really loose (I got the autotechnica one). Fixed that pretty good with an O-ring and some grease though. Now I just need to finish [painting] my new center console with the boot to complete it. Thanks for the help!!

I want to see some pics when your done.

yea come on dude..we showed you ours now you have to show us yours

Ok, I'll post pics as soon as it is finished!!

I thought it was finshed. lol
