Handbrake sucks for golf. Need help converting to "Hill Brake".

[Buggy_Dave]

I purchased a brand new Tomberlin e-merge E2 LE in December 2009. Just took it out golfing for the firs time yesterday. OMG, the hand brake system is HORRIBLE for golf !!!

To top that off, my state, Kentucky, won't let us drive these on the road.

So, I can either sell the vehicle, loose my tax credit, and loose money.... OR....

I can convert it to a more typical golf cart braking system. I've googled all kinds of custom cart shops accross the U.S. today. I can't find anybody who wants to work on this.

I've called Tomberlin for help, but I'm willing to bet they will be of little help. They designed the thing this way. And when the sales staff claims they haven't played 18 holes of golf on one.... well anyway.

All that said, I like most of the bells and whistles. And I really dig my gunmetal grey color with wood-grain. At this point, I'm not ready to give up on the vehicle. I have access to a machine shop to craft any parts necessary for the conversion. But I've never worked on any carts before.
