Citroen Specials Club - the club for all lightweight cyclecars

hi all has anyone got pic/drawings of a outside gear shift/and o/s hand brake. I think I have worked it out but someone may have a better iidea building a 2cv special enclosed cockpit single seat /may be/ just want to build some think different .just finished a miglia pic on mad /a/k/c/ click miglia builds click miglia racing thank you dave randall

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...
