The Chase Bays Ultra Compact Hydraulic Handbrake Lever "Reverse Mount" is a product meticulously designed in every detail to provide the most compact and stable braking, ease of use, and simple, comfortable hydraulic handbrake performance.
"Reverse Mount" refers to a style where the handbrake base and master cylinder are positioned toward the front of the lever, making it ideal for those who want to hide the master cylinder under an audio or climate control panel.

Development Concept
Aiming for the ideal hydraulic handbrake lever, we thoroughly analyzed the weaknesses of other companies' products.
Many handbrakes suffer from the following problems:
Large physical size
Slop or play at the lever pivot
Difficult to grip, causing fatigue and finger pain
Heavy pull effort
Missing necessary installation parts
The Chase Bays handbrake solves all of these complaints.
Compact｜Ultra-Compact Design
By orienting the master cylinder horizontally, we have achieved a very small base footprint.
It can even be installed under factory center consoles.
It is over 3 inches shorter than many popular models, significantly improving both ease of installation and aesthetics.
Stability｜Superior Rigidity and Stability
We have completely eliminated play in the handbrake assembly.
Improvements over common issues in other products:
Lever side-to-side wobble due to poor pivot precision
Chassis tunnel flex
Unnecessary added stroke
We also offer an optional reinforced steel plate to compensate for a lack of rigidity in the vehicle's transmission tunnel.
It comes pre-tapped to match the handbrake base pattern and can also be welded in place.
Modular｜Design Adapted to Various Mounting Methods
The only design that supports the following installation methods:
Standalone (dedicated brake line) / Inline (spliced into factory foot brake line)
Reverse Mount / Forward Mount
It is a fully dedicated design, unlike generic levers commonly found elsewhere.
Comfort & Master Cylinder Size｜Comfortable Grip and Optimal Pull
The cylindrical handle grip is designed for comfort, preventing hand pain during long-term use.
Furthermore, we have set an "ideal lever ratio" that allows for locking with minimal force.
Many hydraulic handbrake levers use Wilwood base mounts designed for foot brakes, which can make the lever feel heavy, but the Chase Bays unit is designed specifically for a handbrake, providing sufficient braking force with a light pull.
It features a 3/4-inch bore master cylinder, ensuring optimal operation for any vehicle or caliper configuration.
There is no need for complicated master cylinder size calculations.
Complete｜All Necessary Parts Included
Includes the following:
3AN fittings
Mounting plate (optional)
Additionally, because the master cylinder is positioned further forward in the Reverse Mount type than the Forward Mount type, if you purchase the Chase Bays Hydraulic Handbrake specific brake line kit at the same time,
a 24-inch 3AN extension line
and a union connector
will be added to your order for free.
