Default E-Brake handle extension

Since I will be building my Z for drifting, the e-brake is very important. Has anyone done a e-brake handle extension for this purpose or others.

1st of all there's no reason to extend your e brake.
Once you get better at drifting you will rareley use it. Have you not looked into hydro e brake?

I am sure I'm good at drifting. I have been Drifting for 5 years, won a few compititions (1st place). I have also been gripping/time attack for 3 years or so. I am not saying that im a pro, but I sure know what i am doing. 1st of all, since the racing bucket seat limit your arm from reaching the e-brake handle, i would like to extend it forward, which will be extremely easy accessable during critcal seconds. Secondly, using the ebrake is extremely important in drifting. It serves the purpose of initiating high speed drifts, correcting angle or speed, and it is also a safety measure. The e-brake can also drag your drift longer to correct your line so you don't go off course and snap an arm.

So my question is, is there a premade after market extension kit avaliable, or do i need to do custom welding....

ah you have a bucket seat. i have not seen any extension. you will more than likely need to get it custom made, seems simple enough to make it yourself. still why dont you get a hydro e beake? to intrusive? i didnt think i wanted one until i drifted my friends 240. it was sick

I was actually looking for a quick and easy solution since I'm lazy lol but I guess its not possible, so I might have to go with hydro.
