The handbrake lever is easy - just find a large hand brake lever with ratchet from an older commercial vehicle. I saw lots of suitable handbrakes at the Beaulieu autojumble. You might be interested in this brand new item (£60) meant for agricultural trailers;



To hook it up you'd just need a custom cable from Speedy Cables.

The gear shifter is much more complex and I haven't got a clue how you'd do that but I guess it would include bent rods and rod end bearings.

I presume you will need a gate at the gearbox end running in a tube to a similar gate at the lever end...maybe look at some Bugatti gear change levers...
lots at Angouleme this weekend...
