Welded up some mounting points. It ties in with 4 × M8 bolts at 3 different locations. Use's some of the original SRS module bolts, some of the dash pillar bolts. And an additional one through the trans tunnel, where the sheet metal is a few layers thick. I could hang off that bastard and it aint going anywhere.

I also cut out as much un-needed material from the frame to reduce weight without compromising strength to much. Because race car.

I also popped into Brakes West to during the week to see if they could re-crimp the ends on the hose that came with the handbrake. Because the hose ends are female 3/8 with inverted flare, which i thought was a bit odd, as all the brake lines on the Subarus are metric. They said no, but can make custom flexible hose if need be. (at about 100 per hose.) So i might make my own brake lines up for about 60 per hose when the time comes.

Here it is. Just waiting on the hardware from Mcgill Motorsport then i can do something about making a handle.
