I have a KAD quickshift fitted with the internal gear linkage kit also, and a standard (i think) handbrake set up and lever on my 93 mini rio
The lever is so close to the quickshift, it takes the skin of your knuckles nearly every time it is released !
Has anybody got or seen some ingenious solution to this ? - maybe placing the lever elsewhere (i once had a cater ham where it was sited horizontally in front of the passenger!) - maybe using an aftermarket lever set up
All help gratefully received
