yes it is. take the handbrake out and shear off the pin holding the ratchet assembly . (permanent fix but not legal.) i had a handbrake like this but it wouldn't pass the transport test. what i do now is just push in the handbrake button and cover it with race tape if i am rallying. works a treat and then you still have a handbrake later.
hope this helps. |
