I finally got around to finishing the second half of this project; the emergency brake handle. I bought a used e-brake handle assembly from a junkyard off of a '97 850. As luck would have it, the assembly is exactly the same as the C70s. I chopped off the handle and soldered in a piece of pipe that was the right diameter for the custom wooden handle to slip snugly over. The short shifter and knob was a project from a couple months ago, but basically I bought a spare shift linkage and had a machine shop cut it down and thread it. I bought some gray leather that was left over from a furniture maker (got several square feet for about 15 bucks) off of eBay, and it was the PERFECT color. I stitched it together to make custom shift boots for the shifter and the emergency brake.
