Hand brake on cabinets?
Howard_Casto:
Even if it is, that thing looks like it'd be hard to install in a generic machine. Look how deep the innards are. And if you've got to build the box you might as well build the whole thing.
Hey Euros are how much in Monopoly money these days? ;)
Fursphere:
85€ Euros is about $105 US. Cheaper to buy a real universal floor mount one and convert it. /lame
I just remembered I have a "fast / slow" shifter assembly out of a spy hunter cabinet. I'll have to get that out and take a look at it - might be easy to convert with a simply spring and a longer shaft.

OK, so I have a dumb semi-related question. So, hand brake. That's the same as emergency brake correct? If so, I was just wondering, does anyone (other than race car drivers and such) ever use these in real life while driving?
I was always told the only time to use those was when parked on a hill, so your car won't roll away. I'd actually be scared to pull that thing while driving. To me, it would be the same as shifting while moving (in an automatic that is, never drove a manual), or turning the car off when in drive.
edekoning:
Yep, only when standing still, though not necessarily on a hill (we don;t have any in the Netherlands ;)): when stuck in traffic, waiting for a bridge/traffic light/train. Just to alleviate my foot from having to hold down the brake pedal.
gbeef:
Hand brakes on racing cabs are nice. When you start to play need for speed shift or Dirt.
DRIFTING becomes a factor.
