Aftermarket ebrake handles

Anybody know of any good aftermarket ebrake handles for these cars? The oem one is looking pretty wore down. I'd like to change it. What's out there?

I saw that on the classifieds. Looks like he does great work. I'm looking for something a little bit different. Maybe a polished aluminum or carbon fiber.

Re: Aftermarket ebrake handles

Thanks, but i'm not looking to keep the OE look. Just was curious what the aftermarket had to offer. Doesn't look like much!

UMI performance makes really nice high quality cnc machined ones that can have like z-28 or ss engraved in them and they come in different colors!

Re: Aftermarket ebrake handles

A metal e-brake handle is going to melt your hand off in hot weather. Just my two cents lol.

Re: Aftermarket ebrake handles

Nope! Not if i can't buy it lol I looked online and they were actually pistol grip shift *****. Looked awfully like an e brake handle though. Mine just rattles around, makes a ton of noise, and isn't the most aesthetic thing in the world. Rather than buy a nos one, i'd rather just do something a bit different.

One day I will sort out these interior rattles.

They all rattle around, but it isn't the handle itself. I haven't seen anything for direct bolt on replacement stuff.

A thin layer of electrical tape on the metal underneath the handle held it snug enough to stop the rattles for me.

Bingo! I scrolled down to type that and you beat me to it. I replace it beginning and end of the warm season. It is maybe 1/4-1/2" tape between the handle and button.
