I am in need of a mechanical ebrake handle for my Bronco restoration and am trying to find a handle that is no more than 10" from top to bottom. Also need to have a push button release and short throw. Any ideas on what cars have the shortest ebrakes?

Does anyone have one of these vehicles below and can measure the length for me?

Jeep Liberty(13.5"): https://www.ebay.com/itm/123816020192
Mini Cooper: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202644020038
Volks Golf: https://www.ebay.com/itm/323783875434
Kia Sportage: https://www.ebay.com/itm/323783859715
Saturn Sky: https://www.ebay.com/itm/133097873930
Also found MagiDeal handle on Amazon which is 13" but I could cut it down:

I have a roll cage and I mounted custom speaker pods in my kickpanels that completely block the stock ebrake assembly from going in. I have room above the cable to the left of that fresh air box to mount a 6-10" handle on the firewall

You might try checking at some place that deals in industrial equipment. The e brake on our fork lift is tiny.

Did you try National Parts Depot since they have a whole bunch of Bronco parts from 1966 to 1996?
Bronco ebrakes wont work. Too big and I already have one from mine

I did see some fork lift ebrake handles that looked simple and short. I need to look in that some more.
Lokar makes a 10 inch handle, or what about an old under dash pull handle ?

That could work, was hoping to spend much less though
