Can't use what with a hand brake?

If you run a Nostalgia dragster and use a hand brake , there is no room for a conventinal style shifter no matter how thin, and why I used a ratchet style between the drivers legs

I had my shifter mounted very similar to this with two rods attached one to shift the other to activate the reverse lock out when I had a powerglide in my car

I guess I should tell the customer of mine that's been running a hand brake with a Precision shifter for 13 years, I'm sure he'd like to know.

Maybe your car is wider and your customer thin, My car is narrow and the driver fat

With a 20" hoop and a driver that nobody would describe as skinny it's pretty much a press fit. Right side hand brake and shifter, so nothing goofy going on there.

There will always somebody who will figure out a way of doing something, But my response was for the most part generally accepted practice.
Being that you are so proud of your accomplishment, why dont you post a pic to show others how its done
