So in the Competition Cars where was the handbrake located?
Under dash like Guy's or between the two people as in this photo, or did it change depending on what they were doing?
Sorry for the lack of knowledge here....

As far as I know. Later works cars under dash. A lot of converted Stradales still on the spine. As they were all converted Stradales it's just how far has any preparation work gone or to their own tastes ( as this one ) and how deep people's pockets were.Originally Posted by The Slug

PS looking on the lip of that Nose, I'd put money on that being a Hawk front end....so would explain the louvers.
Here is the car back in 1979
(Here)
It had the facing backwards targa catches back then.
On the works cars i've seen, the handbrake is welded to the steering column
This is the same car on the Mille Miglia 1977

What do we think the two hole by/near the overcentre catches are for? They are carried over from when it was restored.

Could these be the mountings for the clam shell bumper stops?

Probably for the ball and socket fittings that locate the front and rear clips as you close them. The brackets inside the panels should be bonded to the inner surfaces, never seen them bolted through the panel before.

That's what I assumed but was surprised to see they didn't disappear during the restoration
