Emergency brake extenders were available back in the day as an after market accessory. I had been looking for one for my 36 Roadster as I thought it would help relieve some stress on my back reaching for the break lever. I did see a few on eBay but they all went for some big bucks. I found this one made for the VW bus. I had to modify the knob for the metric threads and used a piece of leather to help secure the clamp around the lever. It works out great and looks close to the original style. I ended spending around forty bucks and it sure helps save my back. Thought someone else might like the tip.
