I've got the umbrella hand-brake. It was a $350-$500 option with IM 15 years ago. It is in no way worth $500. I was hung up on "the tell" of a tunnel-mounted hand-brake - but at this point I don't care who knows it's a replica or what they think about it, and a tunnel-mounted brake is 10x more useful than the umbrella.

Do as you wish. Your mileage may vary.

Stan on my old IM they fastened the hand brake attached to the base of the shifter making it too far forward but Carey is right if you want a working HB, put it between the seats and all other choices are ... well, just choices for whatever Illusion the buyer is on, and the vendor is accomodating that delusion   After a while you don't care to be period correct, or exactness if it works for you.
