Emergency Brake Conversion?

That's that same console that was in my 93 mustang.

The two problem areas are the top part of the armrest cover and the hinge on the ashtray breaks easly. I can see that the armrest cover is broken in one of those pictures.

If you get it to work I might have to look for one myself since it's hard to but on the foot parkbrake with my hand.

Do me, and others, a favour. Keep good notes and pictures.

I only have the consolette.  Could somebody do me a favor and take some measurements of their console at the places marked.  Thanks.

You got me so excited about this I went outside in my boxers in the freezing cold to take these measurements.  You gotta finish this thing now.  lol. 

I got 6 1/2" at the ash tray and 10" at the front.

LOL!  Thanks for getting those measurements, especially in the cold half naked.  Darkthunder will definitely finish this before me though.  I'm trying to choose a console then figure out how to mate it with the dash.

Does anyone have a Stang around? I need a pic of where the e-brake handle is mounted on the floor. Right now I going to just make a functional hand brake, but I want to make sure I get it in the correct general area.

Oh, I found a handle already. :) http://discbrakesrus.com/make/ford/ebrakehandle.htm And I still have the cables from my SN-95 rear brake stuff, so this 'should' be pretty darn easy.

If you could take some pics and post them here that would be awesome Herb. And apparently my package is in fedex limbo in Toledo.
