KITTEN HANDBRAKE LEVER UPGRADE .

Over the production of the Kitten there was an up grade to the handbrake operating lever.

IE , you got more grunt for your money (pull actually).

Sorry but the mists of time have covered up when the part was changed, so the best you

can do is be aware and make sure you fit the later longer part as shown in the picture below.

The lever shown is the one that operates from the handbrake cable and

pulls the brakes shoes on within the brake plate.

They are a direct replacement for the earlier ones.

Also remember that there are two of these and they are handed.

If you want the best handbrake for MOT etc then I recommend you fit the later ones.
