LOL.. Probably.. Engineering certificate required... So already $700.. Plus diff and handbrake setup $500 - $1000.. Then manufacturing all of it into car..
Without labour straight up i guess at $2000... Cheers, Nik

The EF/L handbrake setup isnt very good for drifting due to the drum-in-disc arrangement on the diff...its easy to break and/or wear down the handbrake shoes and they become useless very quickly.
EA/D setup has much better potential, as it uses the rear calipers themselves, so it is self adjusting and probably has a higher surface area and better mechanical advantage than the EF/L setup - EA/D is actually a 'handbrake' and EF/L more of a "park brake" if you take into account the design and operation of each setup. |

Could you use an EF/EL lever, and just shorten an EA-ED cable? I haven't seen the guts of how an EF/EL setup works.
Welding the brackets etc. onto an EA-ED floor seems simple enough, and I'm guessing you could use a combination of EF-EL seat rails and whatever else to make it fit...? |

Hydraulic handbrakes are under $100 at most race parts shops, and will last a lot longer than any steel cable will. Drifting with a handbrake is soft anyway, just go faster :P

Go to pick and payless spares and compare the 2 cars handbrake mechanisms side by side.

How would you run the hydraulic handbrake?
How would the lines go on an E series?
