You might look at any Porsche 914 folding e-brake handle. Since its located
between the driver's seat and door threshold Porsche engineered it to fold
down after you pull it up.

May definitely want to make sure the indicator lamp on the dash is working
cuz it would be even easier to leave it on and drive away.

> Has anyone relocated the emergency brake from the right side of the
driver's seat to a less obtrusive area? Mine is aways getting kicked in
moving from front to back, and it has me wishing for the old bus style
e-brakes, or perhaps a lie down  one like a 924 up on the seat floor. Or,
heck, an American style foot e-brake.
