So after watching Ken Blocks Gymkhana 5 i got some ideas after i saw him using this handbrake

After using a joystick as a handbrake for a while i decided to change it up a bit and this is what it came out as.

Sure its not as good as blocks and it probably wont ever be but for a quick mod its great to do.
it doesn't tip over when i pull it back and its at a nice height, a little lower from the top of the shifter. Very surprised with the way it turned out.
if anyone would like to do something similar i would be glad to help.

I've never seen that before, great idea and execution! Which games/sims do you use it with, and do they recognise it as an analogue control or do they convert it to digital?
 
Thanks!
I usually play live for speed and dirt 3, getting more games soon.
With lfs it recognises it as a axis so I just assign the axis to handbrake and it works great.
I'll test it with dirt 3 later :)
 
Could you tell us more about the grip and pipe you used? Is it PVC? Also, is that a Logi Attack 3?

Good job. 👍
 
Sure man,
There is a old car out the front of my yard so I grabbed the handbrake grip off it although any type of grip works fine, it's a thin metal pipe not sure of the width.
Yep it's a attack 3
