hand-brake upgrade done on 01 CL
so my 6-speed swap has been postponed. My interior was taken apart and I was in the process of putting it back together for the mean while and I just went ahead and did this upgrade.
It was very easy, with that said, the hardest part of this whole thing was removing the cable for the foot brake.
difficulty level would be about 3-4 out of 10. had to drill 2 holes for the handbrake bolts, 1 hole was already there.
Pictures taken at night by a cellphone.

I like it! That's the only thing I didn't like about my 01 CL-S. The foot brake just felt out of place

The first time I was putting it back together, I had a little trouble lining it up, but in my case it was the carpet giving me trouble, after I pushed the carpet in and under it all lined up good except the gap between shifter and the cup holder assembly.
I just had to push the console towards front while tightening up the screws which took care of that problem also.

i'm using the original seat heater buttons. After the 6speed conversion, i'll be using the ones by the handbrake and the original ones will be no more.
