Hi Alan, not important that it's off a mini. As long as it pulls a cable, basically! The guy making the mounts for the A series (which he has just finished) is toying with the idea of hiding the whole thing under the body work with an umbrella type mechanism to operate it ( so you just have an up & down plunger affair. There is also the possibility of doing it Yank Tank style i.e brake id set on with a foor switch and let off with a dash switch .... we shall see ;D
Thanks Alan, but I think I have found one. Might get back to you (if that's OK) if it either doesn't do the job or the modifications knacker it! My resident engineer likes to change the way things are used from the way they were designed to be used!
