Fellow Mk IV Drivers- Hello from Dallas....just curious as to who supplied the Parking / Emergency brake handle mounted to the tunnel of original MK IV's? I would love to get a chrome handle for it, if possible. It functions perfectly, but I would love to ditch the black plastic / Rubber grip for something a bit thinner and less pedestrian in appearance if possible without having to change the cable dimensions etc. It is mounted to the tunnel well, so it is really just a simple appearance change if possible. thanks so much in advance for your time and attention.

You can rework the handle to chrome/polished stainless with polished metal button.
My own one on the right has a welded assembly from original Ford lever with MG Midget handle/actuation.
3 pictures on the left show what I did to 3 MK IV levers/cars:
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler!
