Shift lever and handbrake holder Oplite R8 Black, mounting bracket for short shifter and e-brake

Oplite R8 Black shift lever and handbrake holder is a mounting bracket designed to secure a short shifter and e‑brake lever. Supplied as a single bracket unit, it provides a rigid attachment point that reduces play and helps maintain consistent lever position. The Oplite R8 Black is intended for aftermarket installation in compatible vehicles and is suitable for drivers seeking improved shifting precision and firmer handbrake feel without modifying the vehicle's primary linkages.

Advantages

The Oplite R8 Black bracket offers a compact, robust mounting solution that increases stability for both short shifter and handbrake levers. Constructed to provide firm clamping and precise alignment, it minimizes unwanted movement during gear changes and handbrake operation. The design supports easier installation in many setups and can assist in delivering a more direct mechanical feel while preserving original lever geometry.

Suitable for

• Aftermarket short shifter installations
• E‑brake (handbrake) upgrades and replacements
• Street and track vehicles requiring reduced lever play
• Drivers seeking improved control during spirited driving

Key specifications

• Material: durable metal alloy with corrosion-resistant finish
• Colour: black finish for discreet appearance

How to use

Position the Oplite R8 Black bracket at the intended mounting location where the short shifter and e‑brake lever bases are accessible. Align the bracket to the lever pivot points and secure using appropriate fasteners that match the vehicle's factory holes or the aftermarket assembly. Tighten all mounting hardware to the manufacturer's recommended torque values where available, and test lever movement for smooth engagement and absence of binding. If necessary, adjust alignment or reposition the bracket to achieve optimal lever geometry and clearance from surrounding components.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with your vehicle and the specific short shifter or e‑brake lever model before installation. Use quality fasteners and, if uncertain, consult a qualified technician to ensure correct positioning and torque. Periodically inspect the bracket and mounting hardware for tightness and signs of wear, especially after initial installation and following track use.
