Small details for the perfect interior: the handbrake handle

Tuning doesn't just mean Chiptuning, a Lowering or new ones alloy wheels for the car. The vehicle should look high-quality and have an appealing design for the vehicle owner. And that is exactly why the interior tuning is an important part of the entire car tuning. Countless tuning parts are therefore available for the interior and for certain functional vehicle elements. For example, an interested customer can also get the right handbrake handle for their car. At least if the vehicle does not have one electronic parking brake features. If this is the case, only a small button / lever is installed and no classic handbrake.

many materials and colors

Handbrake handles are commercially available in various versions, made from various materials and in many colors. Handbrake handles that are suitable for every handbrake (universal) are often made of aluminum and must be properly installed on the frame of the handbrake. Models that are available in many colors are often aluminum. For example, the paints were applied to the aluminum by a powder coating. The refinement of the materials not only looks good, it also increases the durability of the handle. In addition to aluminum, other materials such as PVC carbon fiber or models with wood grain are also offered. The handbrake handles are available in high-quality versions and can be bought especially for the vehicle or in universal versions.

professional assembly necessary

Due to the professional assembly, the handbrake cover, like the factory version, can be loaded and the handbrake is still safe to drive. The installation should be carried out by a professional and if possible carried out in a specialist or tuning workshop. The specialists in the workshop can also explain which tuning elements can be installed without the road approval expiring. Depending on the tuning part, an entry in the vehicle registration document or vehicle registration may be necessary and the vehicle owner must report to the TÜV by car. The interested customer receives more detailed information in a tuning workshop. This is not necessary for the handbrake handle.

Handbrake handle, handbrake wrapper and more

The handbrake handle is necessary for older and even newer vehicles in order to be able to apply the parking brake. However, as mentioned at the beginning, many vehicles are only equipped with a locking button / automatic locking device and therefore the classic handbrake with handbrake handle is no longer installed. Older vehicle models with a commercially available handbrake can be equipped with a handbrake handle. With the handbrake handle, the interior tuning can be combined with a new one Handbrake sleeve and maybe even a new one shift knob and Schaltknaufbalg be completed.

what to look for when buying?

When buying, you should pay attention to durable properties, robust materials, perfect grip and above all, the right fit. Special variants for certain cars are available commercially. One should stay away from universal handles. On the one hand a firm hold is not always guaranteed and on the other hand these handles are often bulky and not very nice to look at due to their universal properties. Even if a universal fastening is specified in the product description, the dimensions should be carefully observed. The diameter must fit.
