as a somewhat large person, it is hard for me to use the e-brake during drift events. I was wondering if anyone has moved the ebrake to a different spot. As of right now i made a steel rod that bolts to the factory ebrake hole, and runs to the passenger seat bracket. then the ebrake handle was bolted to the steel rod. I just wanted to see if anyone else have any solutions to my problem

you could use the rhd center console and relocate it to the other side of the shifter.

A decent seat and some decent seat rails will do wonders too. I'm on the tall side and occasionally I use to hit the ebake with my leg, use to give me a good bruise.

I am 6'4" and 230lbs, when i sit as far back as possible in any type of seat my right leg ( mainly knee) sits ontop of the ebrake making it impossible to pull during times when i might need the ebrake
