Hi Chaps , need a favour from someone with easy access to their S . If anyone can help , I need to know the diameter of the handbrake handle with the rubber grip piece removed , ie the round bare metal of the handbrake lever itself .
I have been offered a new aluminium one but am not sure the sleeve will fit .
If someone can help I would be very grateful as I'm unable to get to mine till next week .
Cheers hopefully.

Once again cheers Joe , if your still about can you tell me the length of the rubber grip or the barrel part of the lever itself.
Don't worry if you can't it's not massively important just helpful.
Cheers , regards.

It's a little larger dia near the button and difficult to find an alternative handle for!
