I know there has been some previous discussion on this subject. I'm starting to think about doing it as well, and stumbled across this link on another forum. Looks good to me! 
I can find the brake on Lokar's page, but it's not very clear as far as what it includes... Handle (of course), but mounting brackets? Boot? Trim Ring??? :scratch:

Bob, I haven't seen anything on it but it is very interesting. I'm sure it is a lot more durable than the mighty plastic pull handle under the dash too.

Knowing Lokar you will get everything mechanically involved in the handle including all mounting hardware. You will not get the boot or ring and you will also not get the cables and actual hardware to connect the cables. But from a functional standpoint it will all be there.
Another thought, wonder if you could replace the pull handle mech. and use the space to mount a pedal brake:
That would take big hairy ones ... where's the mod :cop: ?

I too would like to do an alternative parking brake. I've got to decide how that'll work with my custom console idea... :scratch:

Aaaacccckkkk! That would be FIVE pedals under the dash. :shock: :scratch: :nono: 
I'm leaning toward the floor mount, since it should make hookup much easier. With the T5 crossmember & X-pipe competing for the same space as the 65 E-brake equalizer, things are tight. The floor-mounted lever mounts a little further back, which SHOULD help out on space...

For future reference, the following parts are all that's needed for the Lokar setup:
Floor mount E-brake: EHB-7000F - FLOOR MOUNT EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE (~$80)
(includes mounting bracket)
Boot & Trim ring: 70-EHBF - FLOOR MOUNT E-BRAKE BOOT (~$20)
Still sorting out the cable setup, attempting to use my original Versailles cables. If they DON'T work, one of the Lokar cable "kits" WILL work, even with the Versailles rear. Those part #s are:
EC-80FU - UNIVERSAL EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLES BLACK HOUSING
EC-80FHT - UNIVERSAL HI-TECH STAINLESS BRAID BRAKE CABLES
More to follow...

UPDATE!
Here's what it looks like installed. Took about 3 hours start to finish - less if my neighbor would've brought my cutoff tool back after he borrowed it.
You do need to pull the seats and the rear carpet section. You cut a slot in the tunnel about 6" long that varies from 1/2"-3/4" in width. Really, a pretty easy install.
Haven't hooked the cables up, as I need to shorten them, and the good end crimping tools are at work... :nono:

Very nice... I'd be doing the same if not for the console setup. I've even considered running it side to side just in front of the driver's seat so it would be under my legs while driving ... though in case of emergency it would not be too good.
Maybe I'll mess with the other setup since it is an automagic.

Very nice Bob.
While you were installing it, did you see anything that might cause concern on the stiffness of the tranny? The only reason I ask is that I've heard of people reinforcing the area with additional sheet metal.
I just pulled the e-brake out of my donor 85 GT, and this would pretty much be a necessary mod to pull off the T-5 swap. My current e-brake is worthless.
