Sorry for the intrusion off topic a tad. Would the handbrake extender cause those handbrake problems posted. I'm looking for details on "the extender",but the search won't throw it up. If you want to swivel the Fiat driver's seat does one remove/detach "the extender"? Any photos of the extender. It's unheard of by Aussies. No jokes pls.

I do not know what handbrake problems you refer to but the Korban handbrake assistor does what it is intended to and I have had no problems on two MH's fitted with it. It is available from the forum shop. I am able to swivel the seat with the handbrake on with no problems. It is a bit tight to fit on some X250 handbrake levers due to Fiat's moulded hand grip but with longer bolts it will fit.

Fiat handbrake was designed for knuckle draggers. Laughing I Would not be without my Korban handbrake extender, although its an expensive piece of kit for what it is.

Has anyone used the Rare Spares handbrake extender?

Looks to be a bit more 'professional' than the Kobran. Much more expensive but is it worth the additional cost. I still want to be able to swivel the driver's seat and it looks as though that might be a problem with the Kobran.

I've got a Rare Spares one. It's head and shoulders better quality than the Kobran one, but that is reflected in the price. You pays your money you takes your choice...

Another vote for the Rare Spares on here too - much better construction and also folds down when parked. Bought one each for our and my daughter's van.

I keep seeing ads for these handbrake extenders, but aside from people with disabilities what's wrong with just bending down further, and yes I do have a swivel seats, but I can reach the handbrake easily, and I'm not a knuckle dragger either.

Is it more to do with ooh look another accessory I don't need.
