Not that it's any of your business, Mike, but that's my girlfriends favorite place to... oh, never mind.

But seriously, I am trying to build a subwoofer box with a cup holder/ storage area and that darn brake handle is making it rather difficult. And it gets in the way of swiveling the driver seat, not that I do that too often.

Lots of cars and trucks have those foot pedal brakes one the left side near the door pillar, which would work great on the Vanagon. Even the old buses had the brake in a better place, although it would stick out of the dash a ways when it was in park mode.
