If you're looking into drifting, remember that JTP uses a stock ebrake.

You could probably have a cable set custom made but I can't think of a readily available option.
I assume that you're using the handbrake for something other than it's intended function (to set the parking brake) and if you're stretching/breaking it, maybe hydraulic is the best option.
