Gear lever as rear brake lever?

Is it possible to do this? I have so many gear levers spare at home it would be a shame to waste. And the fact that they are 50ish quid for new rear brake lever

If you have a City&Guilds in Bodge-ism then I suppose it could be a yes, otherwise it's a no. ;)

Re: Gear lever as rear brake lever?

Well you'd have to obviously use it upside down, and the gear pedal lacks the tail eyelet or metal to drill one, you could make a plate to attach to the pedal extending backwards and affix the rear master cylinder link to that, how are your machining skills ?

So yes it could be done, but it's the effort/time/skill involved that may make you think twice about doing it.
