CLK Parking Brake

[bimilne]

Folks

Does anyone know if there is a conversion for a W208 CLK parking Brake.

I would really like to have a good old fashioned "HandBrake".

Thanks

Never heard of one.
I assume you never got the Auto?

After driving a auto in Canada while over there on business: I'm very happy with mine. Why did you buy the car if you dont like the h/brake?

I love the car but have always missed the handbrake like in my old 190E
Still its a small thing to worry about, just thought in this day and age of modifying cars there might have been a conversion kit available.

Cheers

Having lived with the pedal on my 124 for the last 4 years I would not want to go back to a lever setup, I no longer indulge myself with handbrake turns and other amateur dramatics, if I did it would be usefull to have a lever but otherwise no thanks.

I find the pedal more secure when stopping or parking on very steep slopes, my 190's lever setup would not hold securly without me almost pulling my arm off despite its all new parts condition.
