E-brake

i was just reading the post on tall ppl, well i'm not really tall , 6' 190 # . but i do have a problem with the e-brake handle digging into my knee. does anyone know if there is a swap that is shorter or just heat it up and pull it over just enough to be out of the way ?

i'v got the seat back all the way, i guess it's the way i drive, i blew my kee out several years ago and now i have a pin in it and the most comfortable place for me is where the brake handle is, if it were RHD that would solve the problem but i'd prolly crash into something trying to drive on the WRONG side.

stay away from magnets !!

I have a very similar frame: 6feet tall and 9inches and I weigh 190#s.
No problem whatsoever with the e-brake handle.
Maybe you can relocate it ?

Relocate the parking brake to the other side.
