   Does anyone have this handbrake?
   
   Is it a good fitment and did you use the Richbrook gaitor? If you have pics that would be helpful

   i actualy have just fitted one to my sisters car, exactly the same as that, there ok, but with hers i cross threaded the grub screw holes and that so had to retap and make some new grub screws lol
   
   a half an hour job turned into 2 hours lol, overall though its good
   
   tbh every handbrake is a bugger to fit, my momo one was a git to fit too

   Did you get a gaitor to go with it too? Does it have more that one grub screw?

   no mate no gaitor with the one on the fiesta,, only reason it woldnt of looked right having plastic around it
   
   you get two collars with it, one to put gaitor over and the other for just having no gaitor
   
   you get 3 large grub screws and 3 small
   
   need 3 for the handbrake and one for collar

   Can anyone recommend a gaitor to go with the handbrake handle as I think the Richbrook one (elasticated) wont really work on a Saxo..... anyone?

   elasticated should work mate,just make sure its got some velcro on the bit that goes onto the carpet and it should be fine

   no problems mate, if it doesnt fit then theres no reason why you cant send it back, just read there return policies first before buying
